| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Case study and overarching project objectives have been achieved, with specific findings related to medieval multilingualism presented at the Japan Society for Medieval English Studies Congress (Dec 2021). Findings related to multiple script use were presented at Leeds International Medieval Congress (July 2022) and at Colloque Bisannuel de la Diachronie de l'Anglais (Jan 2023). Results have also been published as open-access, peer-reviewed journal articles: 1- "An Unseen Eighth Rune: Runic Legacy and Multiliteral Performativity in Cynewulf's The Fates of the Apostles" Humanities 10.4 (2021); 2- "Script and Language as Semiotic Media in Japanese Storytelling: A Theoretical Approach through Haruki Murakami's Noruwei no mori" Humanities 11.5 (2022). A third article, as well as a monograph draft addressing core themes of the project (provisional title- "Multiple Scripts and Narrative: Medieval English in Conversation with Modern Japanese") have also been completed and are anticipating publication.
