 Hi, this unit deals with the central linguistic aspects of middle English, including the most important historical details of that time. It is an overview, but at the same time detailed enough to understand the main properties of middle English. In the virtual session, with its optional question sheet as default guidance, we discussed the central historical events leading to three middle English periods and will look at their linguistic properties. The master e-worksheet is a listening task, which presents 30 middle English continental sounds that you have to locate on the IPA Consonantal Child. The practical uses textual data from the Canterbury Tales ready for analysis on several linguistic levels. All in all, sufficient information and material for you to become familiar with middle English.
