This book consists of articles investigating the manuscripts, textual transmission, punctuation, spelling, grammar and vocabulary of the «Ancrene\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eWisse» Group. All the contributors use data taken from the parallel manuscript editions published by the Tokyo Manuscript Reading Group. The articles exemplify ways of using such parallel-text editions for linguistic and literary analysis. They present new findings on lexical and morphological divergences, which taken together cast light on scribal variation in texts transmitted in manuscript.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly Middle English language and literature – «Ancrene Wisse» – The Katherine Group – The Wooing Group – AB Language – Old Norse and French loanwords – Modernity and archaism in Early Middle English – Textual transmission – Lexical variation – Manuscript spacing – Prefixed and phrasal verbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044475732311,"sku":"9783631802533","price":41.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631802533.jpg?v=1750961738","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/linguistic-variation-in-the-ancrene-wisse-katherine-group-and-wooing-group-essays-celebrating-the-completion-of-the-parallel-text-edition-9783631802533","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
