I wouldn't count on Tim supporting you... Legolas Send a noteboard - 20/01/2010 12:54:05 PM
It's monolingual with two chronologically divergent readings. I'm sure Tim could come up with a better term for exactly how to describe it. Perhaps "monolingual duachronic parallel edition"?


If he considers "ebonics" as a separate language, methinks he ought to do the same with Middle English. :P After all, there are a number of modern language pairs that are no more different from each other than Middle English and contemporary English. So "bilingual" seems like a good way of describing it.

The only way to read it is in the original. Most of it is poetry. Tom - 18/01/2010 12:14:03 AM 1488 Views

How can any intelligent person who knows modern English "not manage" Middle English? *NM* Tom - 18/01/2010 03:31:35 AM 830 Views

There's much love for the Penguin Classics on my part. It makes my textbooks cost about 10 cents. Ghavrel - 18/01/2010 09:45:26 PM 1405 Views
