Abstract:

The book is a comprehensive corpus study of analogical developments in the
nominal morphology of four Northern West Germanic languages: Old English, Old
Frisian, Old Saxon and Old Low Franconian. It examines the patterns of
reorganisation of the nominal paradigms, focusing on the analogical
interdeclensional shifts of nouns affiliated with historical minor classes.
The wide scope and comparative nature of the study facilitate identifying the
major patterns of inflectional restructuring, both language-specific and those
of a more general character, demonstrating that the process was far from
random. By framing the investigated phenomena quantitatively, the study
affords insight into the dynamics of the changes, their scope in individual
languages, the mechanisms underlying the restructuring process and the factors
conditioning it. The book may be of interest to both historical linguists who
may appreciate its descriptive aspects as well as morphologists concerned with
the mechanisms of morphological processes, especially analogy.
