“…Linguistic terms used by AElfric display remarkable diversity as for their origin, morphology, and correlation with Latin terms, as stated by several researchers (Kleiner 1985, Gneuss 2009, Chapman 2010. The taxonomy of AElfric's terms suggested by Dieter Kastovsky (1992Kastovsky ( , 2011 is based on semantic and morphological criteria and includes such types of loans as loans proper, semantic loans, loan translations, and loan-creations.…”

“…Former studies of the Grammar (Law 1987(Law , 1993Gneuss 1990Gneuss , 2009Kleiner 1985;Menzer 1999, 2004, andothers) described it mainly within the frame of history of linguistics and/or contrastive text studies, which was very important, but certainly not sufficient. However, a paper by Edna Williams (Williams 1958) and, among recent publications, those by Fabienne Toupin and Martha Mensah (Mensah & Toupin 2005;Toupin 2009), Don Chapman (Chapman 2010), and particularly Dieter Kastovsky (1992Kastovsky ( , 2011 shed light on the translational techniques used by AElfric in his Grammar. AElfric's approach is also mentioned in works on code-switching in Old English (Timofeeva 2010;Schendl 2011Schendl , 2017.…”

“…Alongside various techniques of translating, AElfric uses different principles of incorporating terms in his text. As his strategies are exposed in detail in several works (Gneuss 1990, Menzer 2004, Chapman 2010, and others), we think it necessary to focus on the most typical ways of representing grammatical notions in AElfric's Grammar in terms of structural-semantic and sociolinguistic approaches:…”

The paper focuses on linguistic terminology used by Ælfric (10th c.) in his translation of an anonymous Latin grammar (Excerptiones de arte grammatica anglicе) going back to Priscian and Donatus’ works. Ælfric’s grammatical metalanguage, comprising loan words, semantic loans, loan translations, and periphrastic expressions created for explanatory purposes, is characterized by great diversity. A question arises whether these terms, remaining occasional, made any impact on the language system and can be thus evaluated as change from above.The paper combines a traditional semantic, morphological, and functional description of Ælfric’s terminology and its consideration within the frame of sociolinguistics; the analysis is supplemented by a cross-linguistic study of Ælfric’s terms with remarks on other Germanic languages. The results achieved enable us to argue that Ælfric’s linguistic terminology, being innovative, displays some features of change from above, arising from language contact and individual change.

A brief history of Anglo‐Saxon education

While the Anglo-Saxon period is not always considered the most dynamic milieu for medieval education, recent work in the field belies that impression. Since the 1980s, Anglo-Latinists have edited, translated, and analyzed glosses, treatises, letters, and prefaces that enrich our understanding of Anglo-Saxon education. The turn in the 1990s towards the study of literacy, and subsequent interest in bilingualism, have situated Old English literary texts against the background of educational theory and practice. In recent years, interest in education seems only to have accelerated. Two recent monographs, Emily Thornbury's Becoming a Poet in Anglo-Saxon England (2014) and Irina Dumitrescu's The Experience of Education in Anglo-Saxon Literature (2018), push the boundaries of the field by exploring Anglo-Saxon educational experience in a variety of literary texts. Simultaneously, work on the textual cultures of Anglo-Saxon England-increasingly collaborative and digital-continues to elucidate what and how the Anglo-Saxons read. The recent dynamism of the field offers new opportunities for both Anglo-Saxonists and historians of education going forward.
