| Description: |
Examines word order of two Old Germanic languages, Old English and Old High German, using a corpus containing samples of text types: original prose and translated prose. This book disproves hypothesis of West Germanic syntax, presenting data which shows that word order of languages started to diversify during Old English/High German period. |
| Synopsis: |
The book examines the word order of two Old Germanic languages, Old English and Old High German, using a corpus containing samples of three text types: poetry, original prose and translated prose. Thanks to this methodology, it is possible to compare word order patterns in Old English and Old High German, eliminating differences which may be due to stylistic or technical reasons (rhythm, rhyme, Latin influences), as well as to see to what extent text type determines word order and to check whether this phenomenon is universal (triggering similar behaviour in both analysed languages). The book also disproves the hypothesis of the West Germanic syntax, presenting data which show that the word order of the two languages started to diversify already during the Old English/High German period, i. e. before the 11th century AD. |
