- In the Middle English period, commonly seen as stretchingfrom the 12th to the 15th century, the English language is undergoingconsiderable changes: From a Modern English speaker’s point of view, theearliest texts from that period seem to be written in a foreign language, whilelater Middle English texts, such as those by Chaucer, are by and large easilyunderstood.
In this class, you will become familiar with the mostimportant phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic and dialectalfeatures of Middle English as well as their origin and further development.This will provide you with a better understanding of irregularities andcharacteristics of today's English and give you insights into general processesof language change. The class also involves intensive reading and translationof a text by Chaucer as well as shorter excerpts from other – earlier and later– Middle English works.
