series of sessions have represented the flourishing field of literary
linguistics at the IMC in the last three years, showing the great
potential of literary linguistic methods for medieval studies. This
year’s thematic focus ‘Borders’ especially invites new
contributions to the field, which itself occupies a border space
between literary and linguistic studies. Exemplifying the creative
and scholarly potential of liminal spaces and the contact situations
they enable, literary linguistics can contribute to a positive
(re)evaluation of encountering the less familiar and incorporating
various approaches. This paper session encourages consideration of
Old and Middle English texts from a literary linguistic perspective
to show the merits of negotiating disciplinary boundaries.</font></font></font></div>
