Host Institution: University of Groningen
Website: https://www.rug.nl/education/summer-winter-schools/old_frisian/?lang=en

Dates: 05-Jul-2021 - 10-Jul-2021
Location: Leeuwarden, Fryslân, Netherlands

Focus: The central theme 'Old Frisian and its Neighbours' concerns medieval language shifts along the North Sea coast: Old Frisian, Old/Middle Dutch and Old Saxon/Middle Low German.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum


Special Qualifications:
Open to students (undergraduate, postgraduate, PhD) and to early career researchers.


Description:
During the translation workshops, participants will learn to read and
interpret Old Frisian texts and get a good grasp of its grammatical
structures. There will be a good balance between workshops, grammar lectures
and lectures on the various language shifts Frisian experienced over the
medieval period, when it gave way to Dutch or Low German. A visit to the
Frisian Academy and Tresoar, where most of the Old Frisian manuscripts are
kept, will be included as well as a visit to the city of Groningen.  Confirmed
speakers include prof. Frits van Oostrom (UU), prof. Arjen Versloot (UvA),
prof. Marc Pierce (University of Texas) and Dr. Michiel de Vaan (Lausanne
University).
