Resumen
Kennings are one of the most appealing tools used by poets in Old English and Skaldic poetry. Their functionality emerges from the mechanisms of logic they employ to economise language while reflecting the knowledge and principles of a specific culture. The poet of Beowulf makes use of these compounds to convey and spread the values of the comitatus principle. My purpose in this work is to show the composition of these kennings, the function of their parts and the processes of metaphor and metonymy through which the mind is capable of inferring meaning from them. My approach will make use of the theory of the Prismatic Model for its adequacy in the decomposition and understanding of these compound forms.
