101198 | Bækken, Bjørg - Word order in 17th century EnglishA study of the stabilisation of the XSV pattern This book presents the results of a corpus-based study of the surface order of subject and finite verb in 17th century English, covering declarative main clauses starting with a non-subject element. The aim of the study is to examine English word order as reflected in the corpus and the diachronic changes that may be evident during the period concerned. An important part of the presentation consists in detailed descriptions of the various word order patterns that emerge. Additionally, the data is analysed pragmatically with respect to the information structure of sentences, thus trying to establish to what extent the sequential organization of a sentence depends on the information structure of the sentence elements. The investigation shows the situation with regard to word order in 17th century English to be in many respects unsettled, and the stabilisation of the XSV order emerges as an uneven process. A recurrent feature of the data is a wave-like development of the XVS order over time, suggesting that the decline of the XVS order with the eventual stabilisation of XSV is not a unidirectional process with one pattern regularly increasing at the expense of the other, rather it appears to have progressed by leaps and bounds.Bjørg Bækken is Associate Professor of English Language at the University of Bergen. | NOK 278,00NOK 278,00 Legg til / Add |
100783 | Bækken, Bjørg - Word order patternsThis is a corpus-based study of the relative order of subject and finite verb in declarative main clauses introduced by an element other than the subject. The data are derived from approximately 3,000 pages of prose texts dating from c. 1480 to c. 1730, and the aim is to examine English word order as reflected in the corpus and the diachronic changes that may be evident during the period concerned. The investigation shows that verb-second order was quite common till the end of the 16th century, and a very radical change in the order of subject and finite verb appears to have taken place as late as the 17th century, in particular during the middle years of that century. In the development from verb-second to verb-medial order pragmatic factors appear to have been of crucial importance, favouring verbsecond order in some cases and verb-medial in others. The investigation discusses such features as subject realization, type of verb, the distribution of given and new information and the principles of end focus and end weight. On the whole, word order is shown to be governed by a complex interplay of a number of factors, and it may be safely concluded that a variety of features will have contributed to the sequential organization of a given sentence.

100530 | Killie, Kristin - Early Modern English Subject ModifiersThe focus of the present study is the subject modifier in sentences like She sadly read the letter. In this type of construction Present English (i.e. 20th-century English) seems to prefer adverbs; it appears, however, that historically other elements are used as well. It has been claimed that the Early Modern English period (c. 1500-1700) is generally a transitional period in terms of adverbial usage. The present study tries to determine whether Early Modern English adverb usage is unstable with respect to the function in question. The book also dicusses how the relevant function is realized in Present Norwegian, as well as in some earlier types of English. Additionally, topics such as adverbial orientation and distribution are touched upon, and these two factors in combination are claimed to partly explain the adverbialization of the construction discussed. Kristin Killie was born in 1967. In 1993 she received her cand. philol. degree (in English) from the University of Tromsø, where she is presently working.

100413 | Lindberg, Conrad (ed.)- English Wyclif Tracts 1-3The three tracts presented in this volume are the most certain to be Wyclif’s of all the sixty or more earlier attributed to him. They are all dated in the Middle English Dictionary (MED) within his lifetime, the earliest -c1378, the latest -c1384; they all contain subject-matter very much connected with his ideas and way of thinking; and they all have linguistic features that single him out, when taken together, as the author of the texts. The first of the three, De Officio Pastorali (O-Pastor for short), was edited by F. D. Matthew for the Early English Text Society (EETS) in 1880 from MS Ashburnham XXVII (now in the John Rylands Library Manchester). This is the only known copy of the text. The second tract, De Papa (Papa for short), from c1380 (MED), was also edited by Matthew in the same volume as O-Pastor from the same MS. No other known copy of the text exists. The third and last of the tracts, Of the Church and Her Members (Church for short), was edited by Thomas Arnold in Select English Works by Wyclif (Oxford University Press 1869-71) from MS Bodley 788. Four other copies of the text are known, one in Dublin, one in Leicester, two in London. Variants from these four will be found with the text.

100934 | Lindberg, Conrad (ed.)- English Wyclif Tracts 4-6In 1991 I published a first volume of English Wyclif Tracts, 1-3 (Oslo, 1991). -If possible?, I said then, -three more will follow in a second volume?. After my retirement I have found time to prepare an edition of the tracts Of Confession, Of Pseudo-Friars, and Of Dominion, all three linguistically linked to the previous three tracts. These six tracts are probably the most likely to be associated with the name of John Wyclif. I base this assertion on my linguistic examination of them. The editions are meant for linguistic study, and they should be judged accordingly. | NOK 182,00NOK 182,00 Legg til / Add |
100906 | Obendorfer, Rudolf- Weak Forms in Present-day EnglThis book gives a description of the use of weak-forms in present-day English, based on the variety traditionally referred to as RP or Received Pronunciation. In spite of the fact that weakening the pronunciation of a certain number of very common word-forms in the language is a very typical feature of English with a long history in English linguistics, the subject has never been given a proper treatment detailed enough to explain the regularities and irregularities of the phenomenon. The present book is an attempt to fill this gap, inventorizing all the forms that may occur in RP, and reviewing all the major conditioning factors (phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical) that may influence their use or non-use. Though the author is not committed to any particular linguistic school, his approach makes use of an important insight provided by Government Phonology which regards the process of weakening as one of reduction, rather than replacement. In the last chapter the book also takes the first steps towards a formalization of the process, preparing the ground for further theoretical discussions on the subject.The author, Rudolf Obendorfer, was a lecturer in English Phonetics at the University of Oslo from 1973 until his retirement in 1998. | NOK 253,00NOK 253,00 Legg til / Add |
100923 | Rydland, Kurt - The Orton CorpusA Dictionary of Northumbrian English 1928-1939This book presents the material of the Orton Corpus, which is a collection of dialect material from Northumberland, Tync and Wear, and County Durham, recorded in the period 1928-1939 as part of a survey of the phonology of Northumbrian dialects. The project was initiated and directed by Harold Orton, who later became co-founder (with Eugen Dieth of Zürich) and director of the Survey of English Dialects, and the collection is named after him. The material of this extensive corpus is now published for the first time. The introduction contains an outline of the history of Orton´s Northumbrian survey, an overview of localities and informants, and a description of the sources and the nature of the material. There is also a thorough discussion of editorial principles as well as explanations of the phonetic transcription and the method of presentation. The main part of the book is an alphabetical dictionary of the material of the Orton Corpus. The dictionary includes over 8000 headwords and some 46000 phonetic entries, and contains a wealth of information about traditional Nortumbrian speech at a time when it remained relatively unaffected by outside influence. The material constitutes an indispensable source of reference for scholars and others with an interest in the pronunciation of Northumbrian English, and of Northern English in general.

100673 | Sundby, Bertil- English word-formationIn the early English grammar-books, word-formation tends to be split between grammar and the lexicon, but in the present monograph it is studies in its own right. The main part of the book is taken up by an alphabetical list of entries clarifying technical terms (e.g. antimeria, decompound, mule-words), the use and status of affixes (e.g. -ful, -hood, -like and rival forms such as -ance:-ence, de-:dis-, in-:un-), problems and principles of classification (cf., e.g., composition, derivation, etymology), and various other topics in the realm of theory or usage. The entries run to anything from two or three lines (e.g. de-, -ity, with-) to several pages (e.g. hyphen, inseparable, sound-symbolism). The Introduction sums up the state of the art and includes a discussion of method, a guide to the use of the Dictionary, comments on its sources (156 in all), and lists of entries, literary texts quoted by the grammarians, labels (‘affected’, ‘corrupt’, ‘obsolete’, etc.), and findings. On the normative side, the book is a follow-up to A Dictionary of English Normative Grammar 1700-1800 (Amsterdam/Philadelphia: Benjamins, 1991).

100275 | Swan, Toril - Sentence Adverbials in EnglishThe purpose of the present study is to map the development of English sentence adverbials, and to describe and analyze their use and non-use in Old English, Middle English, and Early and Late Modern English. In addition an attempt is made to show that sentence adverbials have developed from other types of adverbials (primarily intensifiers and manner adverbials) by means of syntactic/pragmatic blends and shifts. Indeed, such shifts are shown to take place in Present-day English as well. The study is based on a corpus of around 9000 pages covering these periods. Only prose texts have been included, though several different genres or categories are represented.
