Commented translation of an Old English passage in "The Life of St AEthelthryth" REQUIREMENT: knowledge about OE A commented translation of a passage from the old english text "The life of St. AEthelthryth". it’s an 80 word passage, from unit 12 until the word acleansige (cleanse) in unit 13. I would like to have both the translation and the commentary from translating this passage. I would like to have a 350-450word commentary of two or three interesting linguistic features found in the passage. As for the text, it can be found on https://www.oldenglishaerobics.net/aethel.php. EXACT PROJECT DETAILS: Interesting linguistic features of the text: for instance, describe linguistic differences between Old and Modern English (morphology, syntax, vocabulary), explain a word that refers to a specific cultural concept in AngloSaxon England and how this word changed in meaning or was lost over time, etc. Choose two or three linguistic features and explain them in more detail with precise linguistic terminology and support your explanations with relevant secondary sources (however many needed) formatting and citation style are given in the attached documents along with an example translation of old norse and the commentary made there. Though old norse commentary does not apply to OE it is just there to give you an idea of what is asked. possible source: Baker, Peter S. 2012. Introduction to Old English. third EditionShow more
