Description
The Nerthus Project aims at compiling a lexicon of Old English based on structural-functional principles. This involves the synthesis of the knowledge generated by a long tradition of philological studies in Old English and its reinterpretation not only in the light of new evidence but also by means of up-to-date linguistic concepts and methods.
The project is named for Nerthus, a goddess mentioned in Tacitus, who is often identified with the Norse god Njörðr.
