“…Its advantage over diachronic studies is that it does not operate with reconstructed forms but with the existing inflectional markers; it analyzes the language in its actual shape. Lately such a reclassification of the Early Old English nominal system has been presented in Hogg & Fulk (2011). However, as this study will also try to show, their classification seems oversimplified and, in fact, not purely synchronic.…”

“…The diachronic models is unable to show which paradigms were in use in Old English and what their frequency was; neither is it able to show paradigm productivity. These problems are the reason why the classification has been criticized (Levin 1969;Hogg 1997;Krygier 1998Krygier , 2002Hogg & Fulk 2011). In answer to this criticism, a synchronic approach is proposed in this article.…”

Early Old English Nominal System: Synchronic Declensions in the Vespasian Psalter

The study analyzes the Early Old English nominal system from a synchronic perspective, since a diachronic approach is unable to provide an accurate description of the language. The analysis is based on the full text of the Vespasian Psalter interlinear gloss. The nouns were grouped according to their inflectional endings, thus representing the synchronically functioning nominal system of Early Old English, contrary to the traditional, diachronic classification, which uses reconstructed stems to classify nouns. The Vespasian Psalter model is compared and contrasted with the latest 'classical' work on Old English, Hogg and Fulk's A Grammar of Old English. Volume 2: Morphology (2011), which also aims at presenting Old English from a synchronic perspective.

“…Other correspondences can be established by comparing the Proto-Germanic and the Old English paradigms of fremman 'to do'. The Proto-Germanic forms are based on Prokosch (1939) as well as Hogg and Fulk (2011). The contrast between personal endings in Proto-Germanic and Old English personal endings can be seen in Figure 1.…”

This article deals with the regularization of non-standard spellings of the verbal forms extracted from a corpus. It addresses the question of what the limits of regularization are when lemmatizing AIMS OF RESEARCHThe aim of this research is to propose criteria that limit the process of normalization necessary to regularize the lemmata of Old English weak verbs from the second class. In general, lemmatization based on the textual forms provided by a corpus is a necessary step in lexicological analysis or lexicographical work. In the specific area of Old English studies, there are several reasons why it is important to compile a list of verbal lemmata. To begin with, the standard dictionaries of Old English, including An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary and The student's Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon are complete although they are not based on an extensive corpus of the language but on the partial list of sources given in the prefaces or introductions to these dictionaries. Secondly, The Dictionary of Old English is based on the Dictionary of Old English Corpus, which contains all the surviving texts with a total of six million words, but is still in progress (the letter G was published in 2008). And, thirdly, this work can be seen as a contribution to the research programme in the morphology and semantics of Old English as presented in Martín Arista (2008, 2010a, 2010b, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013a, 2013b, 2014 The outline of this article is as follows. Section 2 focuses on the relevant aspects of the morphology of the weak verbs of Old English. Section 3 discusses the diatopic and diachronic features of Old English that can be applied to the normalization of weak verbs. Section 4 presents the results of the analysis by inflectional form and lemma, and puts the focus on the criteria that both motivate and constrain the process of normalization. To round off, Section 5 draws the main conclusions of this research. THE INFLECTIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE OLD ENGLISH VERBThis section deals with the characteristics of the three subclasses of weak verbs and their specific features. The first part offers some diachronic perspectives on this verbal class, while the second part of the section provides a purely synchronic description of the morphology of the weak verbal class.The Old English verbal endings derive from a number of Proto-Germanic endings, as Smith (2009: 113) remarks. The present indicative plural ending comes from the 3 rd person plural of the present indicative in Proto-Germanic (Gothic -and) whereas the preterite indicative plural ending can be traced back to the 3 rd person plural of the | 78

“…As Hogg and Fulk (2011) explain, the infinitive of class I has ī followed by one consonant, as in scīnan 'to shine'. The infinitive of class II has either ēo or ū followed by one consonant as in, respectively, crēopan 'to creep' and brūcan 'to enjoy'.…”

Alternation vs. variation in Old English

This paper addresses the phenomena of variation and alternation as reflected by the Old English version of De Temporibus Anni (Blake 2009). The analysis, which focuses on the stem vowels of verbs and is based on the diatopic and diachronic contrasts found by de la Cruz (1986) as well as the alternations identified by Kastovsky (1968), aims at deciding if a given equivalence is a product of variation or alternation. The results indicate that alternation is a more predictable and systematic phenomenon than variation. The conclusions stress the importance of the diphthong for distinguishing between Early and Late West-Saxon and as a point of contact between the phenomena of i-mutation, alternation and diachronic variation.
