Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Christianity on the Vocabulary of Old English Poetry It seems that about the time of the arrival Of the Roman missionaries the polytheistic religion had begun to lose its hold upon the thinking men Of at least some Of the tribes. The circumstances surrounding the con version Of Northumbria suggest that the Old religion no longer satisfied their needs, a fact plainly apparent from the speeches of Coifi and one Of the chief councilors. The rapidity with which Christianity was adopted would point in the same direction.8 Contact with Christian ideas had begun to undermine the Old paganism and to hasten the process of degeneration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Christianity, Vol. 8: On the Vocabulary of Old English No one of the above cited authors had, to my mind, treated the theme anything like as exhaustively as the subject demanded. In the lists of words and expressions cited it was often hard to see precisely wherein the influence of Christianity consisted; and the reader was forced to a continual use of the dictionary to supply the deficiency. Furthermore no trace of an exposition of the historical development of a word or expression within the language in question was to be observed; in short the entire treatment seemed to me much too brief and rudimentary. Starting out with the intention of reading only the more important anglo-saxon monuments, I soon found it desirable for even a tolerably complete presentation of my subject to include within the scope of the investigation every work of any importance in the language. This, of course, much ih creased the bulk of preparatory work. I had hoped to complete the whole as a dissertation; but have been compelled by the increased amount of the materials collected to abandon this purpose and publish at the present a work equal to about one third of the entire undertaking. I trust to be enabled at a future date to complete the remaining parts of the work. Part I. Discusses the Church in its entirety; i. E. Treats all words and expressions relating to the divisions of the human race, the departed members of the Church, secular and monastic clergy, ecclesiastical dress and revenues, ecclesiastical edifices, holy times and seasons, divine service, and the Bible. Part II. Will discuss belief and whatsoever is connected there with; e. G. Various religious conceptions and abstract ideas, God, the Trinity, philosophical notions of the world, sin, penance, confession, etc. For the second part much material has already been collected. It has not been found advisable to treat prose and poetry separately, there being too few variations in the poetic usage from that of the prose; where such occur they have been noted.

Download or read book Folk taxonomies in Early English written by Earl R. Anderson and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A folk-taxonomy is a semantic field that represents the particular way in which a language imposes structure and order upon the myriad impressions of human experience and perception. Thus, for example, the experience of color in modem English is structured around an inventory of twelve "basic" color terms; but languages vary in the number of basic color terms used, from thirteen or fourteen terms to as few as two or three. Anthropological linguists have been interested in the comparative study of folk-taxonomies across contemporary languages, and in their studies they have sometimes proposed evolutionary models for the development and elaboration of these taxonomies. The evolutionary models have implications for historical linguistics, but there have been very few studies of the historical development of a folk-taxonomy within a language or within a language family. Folk-Taxonomies in Early English undertakes this task for English, and to some extent for the Germanic and Indo-European language families. The semantic fields studied are basic color terms, seasons of the year, geometric shapes, the five senses, the folk-psychology of mind and soul, and basic plant and animal life-forms. Anderson's emphasis is on folk-taxonomies in Old and Middle English, and also on the implications of semantic analysis for our reading of early English literary texts.
