Beschreibung

217 p., 43 fig. Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - The study presents a chronotope of linguistic and cultural changes that took place in England and Wales between the 4th and 8th centuries. It encompasses the areas of South Wales and Eastern England and describes the cultural practices of preliterate Anglo-Saxon and Celtic speech communities and their adaptation of runic, ogham and Latin scripts. The study is based on the concepts of anthropological linguistics, ethnography of communication and discourse analysis. It incorporates 23 selected ogham- and Latin-inscribed stones from Wales, and 10 rune-inscribed everyday objects from England. The presented inscriptions were designed as text occurrences with well-planned, graphical content distribution, intentionally placed in the public space to increase the range of their potential audience. - List of figures: Token assemblage from Uruk, Iraq -- Distribution of plain and complex tokens -- Tokens and their pictographic representations -- Evolution of cuneiform signs -- Ugaritic and Old Persian cuneiform variants -- The basic syllabary of Linear B -- Early Anglo-Saxon runic inscriptions -- Anglo-Saxon futhorc -- Ogham letters -- Inscribed stones included in the study -- Cantref stone -- Crickhowell stone -- Llanddeti stone -- Llanfihangel Cwm Du stone -- Llanlleonfel stone -- Llansanffraid stone -- Llywel stone -- Copy of Llywel (Pentre Poeth) -- Trallwng stone from St Davids church -- Vaynor stone -- Ystradfellte stone -- Ystradgynlais stone -- Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath stone -- Geli-Gear stone -- Llanmadog stone -- Loughor stone -- Margam Mountain stone -- Margam Enniaun Cross -- Margam Conbelin Cross -- Margam Eglwys Nynnid stone -- Margam (Port Talbot) stone -- Merthyr Mawr stone -- St Brides stone -- Ash pommel, transcription -- Boarley brooch -- Chessel Down scabbard mount -- Chessel Down pail -- Harford Farm brooch -- Loveden Hill urn -- Loveden Hill urn inscription -- Spong Hill stamp -- Undley bracteate -- Watchfield case-fitting.
