Abstract:

The study presents a chronotope of linguistic and cultural changes that took
place in England and Wales between the 4th and 8th centuries. It encompasses
the areas of South Wales and Eastern England and describes the cultural
practices of preliterate Anglo-Saxon and Celtic speech communities and their
adaptation of runic, ogham and Latin scripts. 

The study is based on the concepts of anthropological linguistics, ethnography
of communication and discourse analysis. It incorporates 23 selected ogham-
and Latin-inscribed stones from Wales, and 10 rune-inscribed everyday objects
from England. The presented inscriptions were designed as text occurrences
with well-planned, graphical content distribution, intentionally placed in the
public space to increase the range of their potential audience.
