GERM 327 - *teuta > þeoda > diutsch > Deutsch: A History of the German LanguageFC ARHU CD 4 credits Beginning with its Indo-European ancestry, this course will uncover the sound changes that brought us the Germanic language family. We will then identify the shifts that German underwent to distinguish itself from its Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, and Gothic relatives to provide the earliest record of the German language, known as Old High German. We will then trace its development through the medieval period of Middle High German, Martin Luther’s Early New German, and finally to New High German. Particular attention will be paid to Middle High German later in the course as we dive into some of the stories of knights-errant and courtly poetry. Course taught in English. Prerequisites & Notes: 1 year of German or equivalent
