? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : LLC-3-CT0081

The course begins with an introduction to the basic grammar and syntax of Medieval Welsh, and proceeds to study Medieval Welsh texts with a continuing emphasis on language.

Course-work consists of (1) background and follow-up general reading of primary and critical material, (2) specific reading in preparation for classes, (3) contribution to class discussion.
