The project will be hosting two sessions at this week’s International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo. Three members of the team will be presenting some of our findings, while we’re also delighted to be hearing from three other researchers who are tackling the question of multilingualism in Anglo-Saxon England. The two sessions will be taking place on Friday afternoon at 1.30pm and 3.30pm in Schneider 1265. Please join us if you can! Our programme is as follows:

Francesca Tinti, Univ. of the Basque Country, ‘Latin and Vernacular in Early Medieval Charters: From Anglo-Saxon England to Eastern Francia’
Robert Gallagher, Univ. of the Basque Country, ‘Language Choice in Anglo-Saxon Charters: Production, Use and Participants’
Edward Roberts, Univ. of the Basque Country/Univ. of Liverpool, ‘Old High German in East Frankish Charters: Pragmatic Literacy or Bilingualism?’
