<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en">After reading the recent studies about the traces of orality and the beginning of&#xd;
literacy in the oldest Scandinavian texts we preserve, the first conclusion to be drawn is&#xd;
that the problem is far from being solved. Even though some medievalists believe that&#xd;
orality can not be proven by reading the primary sources we have, most general&#xd;
linguists accept that oral texts should preserve certain features indicating their preliterate&#xd;
origins. However, the first texts we find written in the Latin alphabet do not&#xd;
show most of those generally accepted oral features. Then, maybe we must accept that&#xd;
the texts we preserve were not composed in an oral society.&#xd;
Runes were used centuries before the arrival of the Latin alphabet and they were&#xd;
used for noting down poems and memorial messages. Those inscriptions show an&#xd;
evolution not only in the type of messages written, but also in the complexity of the&#xd;
poems carved. Thus, a study on the Scandinavian texts, taking into account the runic&#xd;
inscriptions, could help us understand better the history of the passage from orality to&#xd;
literacy in this region and the role that runes would have played in this process.</dim:field>
<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="is">Nýlegar rannsóknir á tengslum munnlegrar hefðar og upphafs ritunar eins og þetta&#xd;
tvennt birtist í elstu varðveittu textum sýna að enn er margt óljóst í þeim efnum. Þó svo&#xd;
að ýmsir miðaldafræðingar haldi því fram að textar sem bera merki munnlegrar hefðar&#xd;
gefi það til kynna með ákveðnum þáttum. Hins vegar sýna elstu textar sem ritaðir eru á&#xd;
latínu ekki slík merki um munnlega hefð. Þannig verðum við kannski að líta svo á að&#xd;
textarnir sem varðveist hafa hafi ekki verið ritaðir í sterkri munnlegri hefð.&#xd;
Rúnir höfðu verið ristar í nokkrar aldir áður en latneskt stafróf, og voru þær helst&#xd;
notaðar til að skrá kvæði og eftirmæli. Unnt er að greina þróun í þess háttar áletrunum í&#xd;
átt að sífellt flóknari textum. Til að skilja betur þá þróun sem átti sér stað frá munnlegri&#xd;
hefð til ritunar, er þess vegna æskilegt að taka rúnaáletranir til athugunar samhliða og&#xd;
kanna sérstaklega hvaða hlutverki þær gengdu í ferlinu.</dim:field>
