Abstract | This panel examines boundaries between closely-related medieval languages and scribal systems in both a linguistic and geographic sense, and the implications for how we understand both shared and differentiated characteristics of languages. Palumbo's paper is a sociolinguistic examination of the blending of Roman and runic script in medieval Scandinavian epigraphy, van der Linde examines the relationship between Old Icelandic and Old Norwegian, and Vrieland follows with a paper looking at indications of Swedish influence in Middle-Danish texts. |
