Abstract:

This volume brings together eleven studies on the history of language and 
writing in the North Sea area, with focus on contacts and interchanges through 
time. Its range spans from the investigation of pre-Germanic place-names to 
present-day Shetland; the materials studied include glosses, legal and trade 
documents as well as place names and modern dialects. The volume is unique 
in its combination of linguistics and place-name studies with literacy studies, 
which allows for a very dynamic picture of the history of language contact and 
texts in the North Sea area. Different approaches come together to illuminate a 
major insight: the omnipresence of multilingualism as a context for language 
development and a formative characteristic of literacy. Among the contributors 
are experts on English, Nordic and German language history. The book will be 
of interest to a wide range of scholars and students working on the history of 
Northern European languages, literacy studies and language contact
