Teaching methods
Sociolinguistic and pragmatic approaches to the study of Medieval and
Early Modern English
This module looks at the linguistic features of Middle English and Early
Modern English from a, primarily, practical perspective. Students will be
equipped with tools borrowed from Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics so that
texts from the selected periods can be analysed, commented on and
discussed. Students’ reading on the various subjects, as well as active
participation in class, are essential components of the module. Students
will be expected to use SWAD to submit work, post comments,
communicate with their tutor, etc.
1. The M.E. period: Introduction and sociolinguistic approaches
2. Middle English variation and Chaucer
3. Late Middle English period: Sociolinguistic changes and Chancery
English
4. The Early Modern English period: Introduction
5. Early Modern English variations: Shakespeare and pragmatic
approaches.
6. Towards a standardisation of English: Gender variations.
Combination of lectures and seminars
