English verbs of speaking have been affected by profound and
intriguing changes, in particular between Old and Middle English.
These changes crucially involve the loss of the verb cwethan and
its replacement by say, which remains the most common verb of
speaking to this day. The present study provides an exhaustive
corpus-based, cross-period, and multi-dimensional appraisal of
verbs of speaking used as part of the linguistic expression of
communication in the history of English situated within a
frame-semantic and constructionist framework. Moreover, it
elucidates the fascinating changes affecting the verbs used to talk
about communication between Old and Middle English. Also, this
study sheds light on the functions of medially placed reporting
clauses emerging in the Middle English period.
