poema del cid...castellano medieval.... history of spanish language - 10/18/04 10:17 PM
Ok, so Im in a history of the spanish language class this semester, and while really proving quite the challenge, im learning a ton! for a project I am translating parts of Poema del Cid from castellano medieval into modern day spanish, then explaining how the words came from latin, passed through the medieval stage, to end up in modern day spanish, looking at both morphology, and phonology, ok sorry that was a mouthfull. ANYWAYS, I wanted to run my castellano moderno version by you guys at a few parts, cuz i know there are native speakers out there, and i wanted to see if it sounds ok to you. (NOTE im not trying to get you guys to do my work for me, just trying to get an opinion ).
Castellano Medieval:
De los sos ojo tan fuerte mientre lorando
tornava la cabeca y estava los catando
Castellano Moderno:
Llorando tan fuertamente por los ojos
ya ha vuelto la cabeza y los estaba oberservando
Words I'm unsure on:
alcandaras: like pecho???
ca mucho avie grandes cuidados: "porque tenia grandes preocupaciones???"
diestra: derecha?? (que viene de directu?)
siniestra: izquierda?
Any input would be much appreciated
And if anybody knows of a good latin to spanish dictionary, like that would show all the pasos of the word from latin into spanish, if such a thing exists, I much appreciate the info!!!!
