This book presents new research results in English historical
linguistics. Section I deals with sounds and spellings, e.g. the
role of writing in language change, Pre-Old English sound changes
and their reflection in runic inscriptions - plus the first
complete list of OE runic inscriptions - and with velar fricatives
in Middle English. Section II contains studies on words and phrases
(e.g. the OE terms for the chain-mail coat), shell nouns, and
secondary agent constructions. Section III highlights the
developments of because, relative clauses, impersonal and passive
constructions. Section IV analyzes the role of dialects in
literature (e.g. 16th and 18th centuries). Section V sheds light on
the use of early literature by later authors (e.g. J.R.R. Tolkien)
and on Chinese translations of Beowulf.
