From where does the core vocabulary of English come? As “a branch of the Germanic languages” (8), what is English’s relationship to German and to other Indo-European languages? What is the role of runes to our understanding of the relationship of English as a Germanic language? Develop an essay that focuses on any or all of the above. In an essay, consider two of the features of Old English and two aspects of OE’s roots. Lerer asserts that “the real craft of Anglo-Saxon poets and prose writers was the ability to (a) draw on a vocabulary both old and new, to (b) coin new words, to (c) shape them in alliterative phrases, [and] to (d) use the resources of syntax and of sound for rhetorical effect.” Select one or more of these abilities to focus on in an essay. According to Lerer, “King Alfred’s letter to his bishops … appended to his translation of Gregory the Great’s Pastoral Care … has remained one of the cornerstones of Old English teaching” (33). In Lerer’s discussion of the letter, why does it seem so essential? Select an aspect of the language upon which the letter focuses to reflect on in an essay. Develop an essay to discuss two aspects of William the Conqueror's conquering that impressed you in terms of its effects on the language and beyond. What can be extrapolated from these aspects of his conquering on the language? Apart from the effects brought by the Normans, Old English was changing "on its own" in the remote interior, in the Midlands and North, in the early centuries of the second millennium (1000s, 1100s, 1200s). Through analyses of artifacts like the Peterborough Chronicle, linguistic changes included: (a) word endings leveling out, (b) grammatical gender disappearing, (c) case/class system of nouns simplifying, (d) strong and weak adjectival differences lost, (e) dual verb forms disappearing, and (f) spelling and pronunciation changing. Select one or more of those changes to reflect upon in an essay. According to Lerer, King Edward I accused “the French of trying to rid English of the English language.” Develop an essay which addresses this tension during the reign of King Edward I. Develop an essay which explores how medieval English was trilingual. According to Lerer, Walter of Bibbesworth’s Treatise was not only pedagogical, that is, ostensibly for teaching vocabulary and expression, but also much more: “a conception of language itself: a sense of how the lexicon articulates a social register; of how the grammar of English and French differ; and of how command of spoken and of written language are two different skills.” Develop an essay which explores these issues.
