(3 credits)
Following a survey of the development from Indo-European
to Proto-Germanic, Proto-Scandinavian (ca. 200-ca. 600)
and Common Scandinavian (ca. 600-1050) are considered in
detail with emphasis on phonological and morphological
developments and changes. Scandinavian runic inscriptions
are studied as the principal sources of evidence for early
Scandinavian.
