Abstract:

This monograph answers the question of why English changed from an OV
to a VO language on the assumption that this change is due to
intensive language contact with Scandinavian. It shows for the first
time that the English language was much more heavily influenced by
Scandinavian than assumed before, i.e., northern Early Middle English
texts clearly show Scandinavian syntactic patterns like stylistic
fronting that can only be found today in the Modern Scandinavian
languages. Thus, it sheds new light on the force of language contact
in that it shows that a language can be heavily influenced through
contact with another language in such a way that it affects deeper
levels of language. It further gives an introduction to working with
the Penn-Helsinki-Parsed Corpus of Middle English II (PPCMEII). It
discusses the texts included in the corpus, it describes the format of
the texts, and it explains how to search the corpus with the tool
called Corpus Search. The book targets researchers in diachronic
syntax, comparative syntax and in general linguists working in the
field of generative syntax. It can further be used as an introduction
to working with the PPCMEII.
