Abstract

Abstract:This article examines Ælfric of Eynsham's use of alliteration within verse pairings and, more significantly, across line divisions, illustrating his technique of extra-linear alliteration within verse runs. This study touches on the Anglo-Saxon listeners' or readers' expectations for alliterative completion within the classical Old English verse line in order to demonstrate the truly unpredictable and exciting alliterative structure of the Ælfrician line and its neighboring verses, paying special attention to Ælfric's later non-hagiographic works Libellus de Veteri Testamento et Novo and Hexameron.

Ælfric，头韵连读与白话诗行的概念

摘要：本文考察了Eynsham在诗歌配对中使用头韵的情况，更重要的是，在跨行划分中，展示了他在诗歌中使用超线性头韵的技巧。本研究触及了盎格鲁撒克逊听众或读者对古典古英语诗句中头韵完成的期望，以展示Ælfrician诗句及其相邻诗句的真正不可预测和令人兴奋的头韵结构，特别关注Ælfric后来的非圣徒传记作品Libellus de Veteri Testamento et Novo和Hexameron。
