Topic and themes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Talking about Animals<\/strong>: How do medieval authors describe and name animals?
    \nThis comprises problems of terminology and classification, but also the analysis of\u00a0poetic elements used when describing animals, such as epithets or proper names of\u00a0animals, etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Talking with Animals<\/strong>: Who talks with what kind of animal?
    \nThe focus in this section is on the partially verbal and partially non-verbal\u00a0communication between humans and animals, such as found in the medieval epic,\u00a0and also in texts that look at the daily interaction between the two.<\/li>\n
  3. Talking Animals<\/strong>: How, what and when do animals talk?
    \nThe central texts for this topic are not so much animal-fables, but other works\u00a0featuring animals that communicate or talk with humans.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
