Zur Schriftkultur des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit gehören nicht nur Handschriften und Drucke, sondern auch Inschriften, die auf unterschiedlichen Materialien und Gegenständen, auf Plätzen und Gebäuden angebracht wurden. Auf den ersten Blick scheint ihr Zweck offenkundig: Sie zeigen Besitz an oder erinnern an vergangene Personen und Ereignisse. Rekonstruiert man aber die Kontexte und Praktiken sowie die Bedeutung von Beschreibstoffen, Layout und Formaten, eröffnen Inschriften eine Vieldeutigkeit, die keine einfachen Antworten mehr zulässt. Gesteigert wird dies noch, wenn man real erhaltene mit solchen Inschriften konfrontiert, die in Chroniken, Romanen, Legenden oder mystischen Visionen dieser Zeit beschrieben werden. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des vorliegenden Buches fragen danach, welche Bedeutungen den Inschriften in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit beigemessen wurden – etwa im städtischen Raum, an Gräbern, in intermedialen Konstellationen – und welche Funktionen sie darüber hinaus im historiografischen, geistlichen oder genealogischen Erzählen ausbilden konnten. Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.

Recent research has shown that this is far from true, and this book offers an introduction to a period that forms the tail end of the standardisation process (codification and prescription), during which important social changes such as the Industrial Revolution are reflected in the language. Late Modern English is currently receiving a lot of scholarly attention, mainly as a result of new developments in sociohistorical linguistics and corpus linguisti
