This textbook invites the student to explore early English syntax
by looking at the linguistic characteristics of well- known texts
throughout the early history of English. It shows how that piece of
the language fits in to the broader picture of how English is
developing and introduces the student to the real writing of the
period as you look at the original manuscript version of selected
excerpts. For each text, issues such as the word order, the
presence of auxiliaries, articles, and pronouns, the types of
pronouns, and the nature of complex sentences are explored. It is
designed for those who have already been introduced to the history
of English and who are now going on to look more closely at the
syntax and morphology using actual manuscripts. With an emphasis on
the original manuscript, this book equips you with the tools to
analyse linguistic characteristics of a variety of texts and
periods in the early history of English.
