Abstract | Interest in medieval multilingualism has, in recent decades, transformed narratives of linguistic change, the study of linguistic and political geographies, and the conceptualization of translation and cultural contact. This round table on multilingual communication showcases current approaches to the multilingualism of medieval societies in literary and historical disciplines, focusing on the interactions among European languages in different areas of the medieval world. The aim of the round table will be to discuss the methodological and disciplinary issues that research in this area presents and to consider new directions for further research. Participants include William Burgwinkle (King's College Cambridge), Jane Gilbert (University College London), Nicola Morato (University of Cambridge), Alan V. Murray (University of Leeds), and Elizabeth Tyler (University of York). |
