 今朝の Voicy heldio で「#1546. 英語史の古典的名著 Baugh and Cable を読む (62-1) The Earlier Influence of Christianity on the Vocabulary」を配信しました.一昨日,ヘルメイトの Taku さんこと金田拓さん(帝京科学大学)とともに,久しぶりの Baugh and Cable 超精読会を開きました.1時間を越える熱い読書会となりましたが,1時間以上をかけて読み進めたのは第62節の第1段落のみです.その豊かな読解の時間を heldio 収録してあります.その様子を,前編と後編の2回に分けて,heldio アーカイヴとして配信します.
 第62節では,古英語期の比較的早い時期におけるラテン語からの語彙的影響について,具体例とともに論じられています.精読を味わうとともに,2人のおしゃべりも楽しみながら,古英語とラテン語の関係に思いを馳せてみてください.
 今朝の配信回で対象とした部分のテキスト(Baugh and Cable, p. 81) を以下に掲載しますので,超精読にお付き合いいただければ.

62. The Earlier Influence of Christianity on the Vocabulary.
From the introduction of Christianity in 597 to the close of the Old English period is a stretch of more than 500 years. During all this time Latin words must have been making their way gradually into the English language. It is likely that the first wave of religious feeling that resulted from the missionary zeal of the seventh century, and that is reflected in intense activity in church building and the establishing of monasteries during this century, was responsible also for the rapid importation of Latin words into the vocabulary. The many new conceptions that followed in the train of the new religion would naturally demand expression and would at times find the resources of the language inadequate.
