Course outline:

In this seminar, we shall be looking at the way in which Shakespeare makes use of the linguistic devices of Early Modern English. Thus, we will examine the way in which he exploits the lexical (word-formation, use of Germanic and Romance vocabulary, neologisms) as well as the morpho-syntactic possibilities (pronouns, forms of address, sentence structures, etc.), which in his days, with the standard of Modern English being in the making, were in some respects more numerous and more flexible than they are in Present-day English. In so doing we will try to account for the impact of these meaningful choices.
As the interactional style is normally different in tragedies and comedies, we will examine the tragedy King Lear, and the comedy As You Like It more closely in order to determine the implications of this difference for the use of linguistic structures and the realisation of communicative patterns.
