Old Norse. (Wolf)
(3 credits)
The course is a direct continuation of 407 Old Norse.
Its primary purpose is a linguistic one: to obtain a reading
knowledge of Old Norse-Icelandic through the study of Old
Norse-Icelandic grammar and selections of Old Norse-Icelandic
texts. It builds on the aspects of grammar studied in 407
Old Norse and focuses on verbal inflections and syntax.
Moreover, students translate a variety of Old Norse-Icelandic
texts, both prose and poetry, in order to increase their
vocabulary.
