This volume explores how past stages of the English language are reinterpreted and recontextualized in contemporary contexts. The idea for this publication originates from a 2022 symposium held at the University of Stavanger (Norway). It assembles contributions from scholars engaged in examining the dynamic interplay between historical forms of English and modern linguistic creativity. The studies included cover a wide spectrum, ranging from translations of Old English texts and pseudo-medieval linguistic constructs to the creative reuse of archaic vocabulary. They explore the choices and origins of linguistic forms, the challenges of adapting them to new settings, potential anachronistic misunderstandings and reinterpretations, and the expectations of intended audiences. The chapters in this volume demonstrate how past stages of English intersect with modern innovations, and offer valuable insights into diachronic connections between language, identity, and cultural continuity.

Mit Beiträgen von Monika Kirner-Ludwig, Oliver M. Traxel, Felix Hausleitner, Kerstin Majewksi, Birgit Schwan, Patrick Maiwald, Sonya Louise Veck, Hans Sauer ( ) und Martina Marzullo
