dc.description.abstract | This article analyses the uses of Latin and Old English in the charters of Worcester
cathedral, which represents one of the largest and most linguistically interesting of the
surviving Anglo-Saxon archives. Specifically focused on the period encompassing the
episcopates of Wærferth and Oswald (c. 870 to 992), this survey examines a time of
intense administrative activity at Worcester, contemporaneous with significant transformations
in the political and cultural life of Anglo-Saxon England more generally. In
doing so, this article argues that when writing in either Latin or the vernacular, charter
draftsmen responded to a number of variables; language choice did not simply reflect
varying levels of literacy. Furthermore, the frequent cases of code-switching found
in tenth-century Worcester documents mark this community out as exceptional, suggesting
that attitudes towards the interaction between the two languages could vary
considerably between institutions. | es_ES |
