Focus: The Old Frisian Summer School is organised by University of Groningen in partnership with Oxford University and in co-operation with the Frisian Academy, Tresoar (the main Frisian archival and library institution) and the University of Amsterdam.

The participants will learn to read and interpret Old Frisian texts and get a good grasp of its grammatical structures. There will be lectures about the various language shifts Frisian experienced over the medieval period when it gave way to Dutch or Low German in formerly Frisian-speaking areas. There will be due attention to the sociolinguistic processes which may have steered these phenomena. There will be a trip to Ljouwert to view the Old Frisian manuscripts in Tresoar (Frisian Library and archives), led by an expert from the Frisian Academy.

The Old Frisian Summer School will be of interest to BA and MA students as well as PhD students in the field of Old Germanic languages.
