Old English is a companion to Old English studies and to historical
studies of early English in general. It is also an introduction to
Indo-European studies in the particular sense in which they
underpin the history of English. Professor Roger Lass makes
accessible in a linguistically up-to-date and readable form the
Indo-European and Germanic background to Old English, as well as
what can be reconstructed about the resulting state of Old English
itself. His book is a bridge between the more elementary Old
English grammars and the major philological grammars and recent
interpretations of the Old English data.Old English assumes a basic
knowledge of phonetics and phonology, the elements of syntactic and
morphological theory, and an introduction to historical
linguistics. An extensive glossary gives definitions of the major
technical terms used.
