With such a large number of non-native speakers forming the core of the Breton-speaking community, the usage of the language is bound to be affected in some way in its vocabulary and grammar, particularly since the level required to enter into a teaching position—in immersion schools, as well as bilingual ones—is B2 (almost fluent).I propose to study the variation created by this state of affairs through the lens of prepositional usage in set expressions. The four prepositions that I will focus on are very common: memestra evel 'the same as', sikour da 'help to', and lammat dreist 'jumping over'. Having conducted a study on the usage of these prepositions among native and fluent speakers of Breton, as well as learners, I propose to examine how their usage varies from the norm and explain the origin of the variation. The norm that I use is the one set in Devri, the historical Breton dictionary, which describes how Breton was used by native speakers, historically and in the modern day.","PeriodicalId":160851,"journal":{"name":"North American journal of Celtic studies","volume":"385 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113993918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historical revisionism and the assertion of Brittonic primacy in Breudwyt Maxen Wledic","authors":"Joseph Shack","doi":"10.1353/cel.2023.0000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/cel.2023.0000","url":null,"abstract":"abstract:The short Middle Welsh prose tale Breudwyt Maxen Wledic is a work brimming with historiographical significance. Much of this interest revolves around the tale's title character Maxen, a figure based upon the late antique Roman tyrant Magnus Maximus, who was raised to imperium by his soldiers in Britain before pursuing power on the continent. Maximus appears in genealogical tracts as a means of imbuing native dynasts with an imperial heritage, and Breudwyt Maxen is generally understood as an extension of that foundational impulse. In contrast, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the composer of the tale intentionally rendered a negative characterization of Maxen, minimizing his accomplishments and his efficacy as a leader, while simultaneously inflating the roles of the Brittonic characters in the text. In doing so, the tale recontextualizes the Roman past of contemporary Wales, attributing tangible remains of Roman military occupation embedded in the landscape instead to Brittonic prowess and ingenuity. Such ideological work may represent a desire on the part of the compiler to respond to trends in twelfth- and thirteenth-century English historiography, particularly Geoffrey of Monmouth, whose De gestis Britonum recounts a version of the Maxen tale as part of a larger narrative of Brittonic decline and sovereignty loss. Breudwyt Maxen, then, may be read as an effective rejoinder to narratives of Brittonic abasement.","PeriodicalId":160851,"journal":{"name":"North American journal of Celtic studies","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114921242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They became a popular genre, an ever-growing corpus of traditions and pseudo-histories, and eventually a late-antique/early medieval ‘scholarly preoccupation’, as underlined by Brady & Wadden in the foreword to their edited volume Origin legends in early medieval Western Europe (2022: 4). Despite not being the first recorded origines gentium, the Insular origin myths stand out as precious hermeneutic objects for scholars of early medieval culture, as part of a genre ‘that has shaped national identity and collective history from the early medieval period to the present day’, as we read in the synopsis. The variety of their approach and their richness in contents and traditions make the British, Irish, Pictish, and Anglo-Saxon origin narratives a perfect subject for a dedicated volume. Discussing these apparently divergent narratives in comparative terms was not an easy task, but Brady bravely attempts it in a relatively compact and easily readable book. Divided into five main chapters, the book is prefaced by a 27-page introductory section, eloquently titled ‘The anachronism of nationalism’, where modern scholarly debate around the contested concepts of ethnicity, post-Roman identities, and early medieval writers’ agendas is summarized and discussed. Brady’s approach consciously differs from the two major historiographical standpoints on ethnic identities, as it neither gives excessive weight to the influence of Classical ethnography (as Goffart did),","PeriodicalId":160851,"journal":{"name":"North American journal of Celtic studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123423179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
