Abstract:
<i>Old English</i> provides a clear linguistic introduction to English
between the 5th century and the Norman invasion in 1066. Tailored to suit
the needs of individual course modules, it assumes no prior knowledge of
the subject, and presents the basic facts in a straightforward manner,
making it the ideal beginners' text. Students are guided step-by-step
through the main characteristics and developments of English during that
period, aided by concise chapter summaries, suggestions for further
reading, and a comprehensive glossary. Each chapter is accompanied by an
engaging set of exercises and discussion questions based on authentic
Anglo-Saxon texts, encouraging students to consolidate their learning, and
providing essential self-study material. The book is accompanied by a
companion website, featuring solutions to the exercises and useful
additional resources. Providing essential knowledge and skills for those
embarking on the study of Old English, it is set to become the leading
introduction to the subject.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
