NOR-2020: Old Norse Philology. Special course for foreign students. Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
The course is intended as a basic introduction to Norse philology. The student must therefore have gained or gain a basis in Norse grammar sufficient to read both standardised an non-standardised texts from the Middle Ages. While the standardised texts are intended mainly to support the study of grammar and to give an impression of different literary genres, the study of the non-standardised texts will provide insight into philological work with medieval texts, and show how these are used as sources in language history. | Contents
The course in Norse philology is an introduction to the study of Nordic medieval texts, both standardised and non-standardised.
Required previous qualifications/ courses: University admission certification
Recommended previous qualifications/ courses: NOR-1010, but also students without this course may follow the course if they are familiar with Norse grammar. | Form of teaching
Teaching is given in the form of lectures and seminars with one double session per week during 13 weeks.
The periods with no teaching are intended for writing the compulsory home assignment and for individual study.
The literature may be in Norwegian, other Scandinavian languages or English.
Language of instruction: Norwegian | Assessment
Coursework Requirements:
In the course of the semester, the students are to write a home assignment on the language of a non-standardised text suggested by the teacher. This paper must have been approved before the student can take the final exam.
Assessment method:
A 6-hour written exam at the end of the semester.
At the exam, a Norse dictionary and an outline of Norse inflectional paradigms will be provided for each student.
Students do not have to master both nynorsk and bokmål, and the practical language requirements are also lower than for students taking the ordinary Scandinavian language or literature courses.
Performance in the course will be assessed with the grades A-F.
