Norn im keltischen Kontext
Author(s): Christer LindqvistAuch die Britischen Inseln waren von der wikingerzeitlichen Expansion ab dem 8. Jh. betroffen. Nördlich und westlich des dänischen Danelag in England entstanden norwegische Siedlungen auf den Shetland- und Orkneyinseln, in Nordschottland, auf den Hebriden, an der schottischen und nordenglischen Westküste, um die Irische See herum und südwärts. Waren die Nordleute anfangs als Plünderer und Eroberer unterwegs, wirkten sie bald auch als Händler und Stadt- und Staatengründer. Der daraus resultierende keltisch-westnordische Sprachkontakt hielt ein halbes Jahrtausend an und hinterließ Spuren im Norn, der frühneuzeitlichen nordischen Sprache, die bis ins 18. Jh. auf den Shetland- und Orkneyinseln und in Caithness gesprochen wurde. So finden sich Keltizismen sowohl in den wenigen Aufzeichnungen des Norn als auch im nordischen Substrat der schottischen Gegenwartsmundarten, die das Norn ablösten.
The British Isles were among the geographical areas affected by the Viking expansion from the 8th century onwards. North and west of the Danish Danelaw, Norwegian settlements were established on Shetland and Orkney, in Northern Scotland, on the Hebrides, along the west coast of Scotland and Northern England, around the Irish Sea and even further south. Raiders and conquerors at the outset, the Norsemen soon became traders and founded towns and states. The resulting language contact between Celtic and Old West Norse lasted half a millennium and left its mark on Norn, an early modern Nordic language spoken on Shetland, Orkney and in Caithness until the 18th century. Thus, Celticisms can be found both in the few written records of Norn and in the Nordic substratum of those varieties of Modern Scots that came to supplant Norn.

Early Germanic Languages in Contact
Editor(s): John Ole Askedal and Hans Frede NielsenMore LessThis volume contains revised and, in some cases, extended versions of twelve of the fourteen lectures read at the conference on “Early Germanic Languages in Contact” held at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense on 22-23 August 2013 – with a paper and a review article added at the end on themes pertaining to the aim and scope of the symposium. All papers cover central aspects of the early contact between Germanic and some of its Indo-European and non-Indo-European linguistic neighbours; and, in certain cases, aspects involving internal Germanic language contact.

Old Northumbrian Verbal Morphosyntax and the (Northern) Subject Rule
Author(s): Marcelle ColeThis volume provides both a quantitative statistical and qualitative analysis of Late Northumbrian verbal morphosyntax as recorded in the Old English interlinear gloss to the Lindisfarne Gospels. It focuses in particular on the attestation of the subject type and adjacency constraints that characterise the so-called Northern Subject Rule concord system. The study presents new evidence which challenges the traditional Early Middle English dating attributed to the emergence of subject-type concord in the North of England and demonstrates that the syntactic configuration of the Northern Subject Rule was already a feature of Old English. By setting the Northumbrian developments within a broad framework of diachronic and diatopic variation, in which manifestations of subject-type concord are explored in a wide range of varieties of English, the author argues that a concord system based on subject type rather than person/number features is in fact a far less local and more universal tendency in English than previously believed.

Make Peace and Take Victory
Author(s): Patricia RonanThis corpus-based study examines the use of support verb constructions in Old English and Old Irish. It determines in how far these constructions can be seen as a means to offer semantic specification of existing verbal expressions. The study further investigates whether support verb constructions may be employed to create periphrastic verbal expressions to denote concepts for which no simple verb exists in the language at that stage. This latter situation may particularly arise as a consequence of contact with new cultural concepts. The approach of the study is both qualitative and quantitative. It compares the use of the Old English constructions to corresponding Old Irish structures as well as to other language varieties, especially Present Day English, which has a considerably more analytic morphological structure than either of the two medieval languages.

Irregularities in Modern English
Author(s): Hans Frede Nielsen and Erik W. HansenThis book, which appeared first in a Danish version in 1980 and subsequently in an English translation in 1986, reverses the history of the English language: it takes present-day English ‘irregularities’ in grammar and spelling as its point of departure, providing historical explanations only to the extent that they illustrate modern forms. A number of comparisons with developments in other Germanic languages are given, not only with Danish phenomena as in the original Danish edition, but also with Dutch and German ones. The authors believe that such comparisons shed light on English language history as well as contribute to make the book more interesting also to students of other Germanic languages.

Norse-derived Vocabulary in late Old English Texts
Author(s): Sara M. Pons-SanzThis book focuses on the Norse-derived vocabulary in the works of Archbishop Wulfstan II of York (d. 1023). A considerable advantage derives from studying Wulfstan's compositions because, unlike most Old English texts, they are closely dateable and, to a certain extent, localizable. Thus, they offer excellent material for the examination of the process of integration and accommodation of Norse-derived vocabulary in Old English. After establishing the list of terms which can be accepted to be Norse-derived, this book analyses their relations with their native synonyms, both from a semantic and a stylistic point of view, and their inclusion in the word-formation processes to which Wulfstan submitted his vocabulary, native and borrowed alike. The information derived from this approach is used to explore the possible reasons for the archbishop's selection of the borrowed terms and the impact which his lexical practices had on contemporary and later English writers.

From Dialect to Standard
Author(s): Hans Frede NielsenFrom Dialect to Standard: English in England 1154–1776 is the second volume of a set of three offering a comprehensive survey of what by the author is seen as the most interesting aspects of the long history of English from its embryonic stages to the language spoken today in England and America.The present book spans the period up to 1776, the year of the American Declaration of Independence and the year in which Adam Smith published his Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The title of the first volume from 1998 was The Continental Backgrounds of English and its Insular Development until 1154, the third and final volume being scheduled for publication later under the title The Development of American and British English from 1776 to the Present Day.

Skandinavisch-schottische Sprachbeziehungen im Mittelalter
Author(s): Susanne KriesDie Untersuchung stellt den ersten Versuch einer detaillierten Analyse der skandinavischen Lehnwörter im älteren Schottisch und im Mittelschottischen dar. Einzelne Kapitel widmen sich den unterschiedlichen semantischen Feldern, wobei sprachliche wie außersprachliche Bedingungen für die Entlehnung skandinavischer Lexeme diskutiert werden. Von den 740 hier genannten Lehnwörtern werden 506 einer detaillierten Analyse unterzogen. Die Studie zeigt, daß es eine genügend große Zahl skandinavischer Lehnwörter im Mittelschottischen gibt, die kein Äquivalent im Englischen haben, um andere Formen sprachlichen und kulturellen Einflusses anzunehmen als bisher von der Forschung dargestellt.

The Continental Backgrounds of English and its Insular Development until 1154
Author(s): Hans Frede NielsenIn conjunction with two other volumes, which are scheduled to appear later, The Continental Backgrounds of English and its Insular Development until 1154 aims at giving a comprehensive survey of what by the author is seen as the most interesting aspects of the long history of English from its embryonic stages to the language spoken today in England and America. The present volume spans the period up to A.D. 1154, the year inaugurating the Plantagenet era in England and the year of the last events to be recorded in the annals of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.

A Concise Grammar of the Old Frisian Dialect of the First Riustring Manuscript
Author(s): Dirk BoutkanThe language of the First Riustring Manuscript, dating from ca. 1300 AD, represents the most archaic stage of Old Frisian. The mainly legal texts are famous for their historical value. However, a grammatical treatise of this important codex is still lacking. This book is meant to meet this need. It contains an inventory of the linguistic evidence as well as a synchronic study of the grammar. Moreover, historical linguistic problems are discussed wherever relevant. The book is intended for all students of Old Frisian, not just linguists but also legal historians, philologists, historians, and others.

Nordfriesische Grabhügelnamen mit anthroponymem Erstglied
Author(s): Volkert F. FaltingsDie vorliegende Monographie behandelt die nordfriesischen Grabhügelnamen und die darin enthaltenen Anthroponyme. Die sprachgeschichtliche Analyse des Namenmaterials stützt sich dabei auf ein vielschichtiges Quellenmaterial, wobei ein spezielles Augenmerk den morphologischen Merkmalen gilt. Insbesondere die Art der genitivischen Kompositionsfuge scheint Rückschlüsse auf die Genese bestimmter Namentypen und ihrer Deklinationszugehörigkeit im (Nord)friesischen zuzulassen. Schließlich versteht sich die Arbeit auch als ein Beitrag zu einem (Nord)friesischen Namenbuch, das nach wie vor eines der größten Desiderate friesischer Namenkunde ist.

Old English Legal Language
Author(s): Jürg R. SchwyterThis corpus-based study examines the lexical field of theft in the Anglo-Saxon law-codes and documents containing reports of lawsuits (charters, writs, and some chapters of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle). The individual Old English lexemes are analysed not only in terms of their meaning, collocation patterns, and Latin translations, but also, more unusually in a field-approach, with reference to their distribution over the various textual genres and the discourse strategies dominant in these. Although primarily linguistic in focus, a detailed description of the theft-offences and the wider context in which they occur should also be of interest to the historian.

Friesische Studien II
Editor(s): Volkert F. Faltings, Alastair G.H. Walker and Ommo WiltsMore LessDer vorliegende Band Friesische Studien II enthält die Referate von Wissenschaftlern unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen aus Dänemark, Deutschland, Großbritannien und den Niederlanden anläßlich des zweiten Föhrer Symposiums zur Friesischen Philologie, das vom 7.–8. April 1994 in Alkersum auf der nordfriesischen Insel Föhr statt fand. Aus Sicht der Sprachwissenschaft und der Archäologie befassen sich die Beiträge mit der Einordnung des Friesischen in das nordwestgermanische Kontinuum, insbesondere mit den speziellen anglo-friesischen Runen sowie mit der Vor- und Frühgeschichte der Nordfriesen und des Nordfriesischen. Weitere Artikel beleuchten anhand englischer, friesischer und skandinavischer Ortsnamen die Rolle der Friesen in der Völkerwanderungszeit und weisen hin auf die Möglichkeiten der modernen DNS-Forschung bei der Bestimmung und Datierung archäologischer Funde. Bemerkungen zur Situation und Perspektive der Frisistik in Deutschland beschließen den Band.

Consonant Strength in Upper German Dialects
Author(s): Kurt Gustav GoblirschThe present study examines the problem of fortis and lenis in approximately 150 dialects of southern Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland, Alsace, and the German-speaking minorities in Italy, Hungary and the former Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The Upper German dialects are of particular interest from this point of view, because voice and aspiration, the features traditionally associated with strength, are generally absent. Changes related to strength such as lenition, vowel lengthening, simplification of geminates, and sandhi phenomena receive special attention. The findings are put into their appropriate context by comparison to the results of research on the status of strength in standard German and the modern Germanic languages. Although the realization of strength is language-specific and varies according to word-position, it can be equated with consonant length in standard German and Upper German dialects.

The Unaccented Vowels of Proto-Norse
Author(s): Martin SyrettThe Unaccented Vowels of Proto-Norse attempts to analyse the unaccented vowel system attested in the proto-Norse period, as partially attested in the older runic inscriptions in the elder futhark. Each chapter in turn assesses the evidence for unaccented syllables of a particular category, whether inflectional or derivational, and decides whether any reliable conclusions can be drawn from it. It is argued that too many widely accepted views are based on insufficient and poor methodology, and that too little note has been taken of the fact that viable alternatives exist alongside most of our theories about proto-Norse. In particular, a new realisation that the inscriptions are written in a less than perfect orthographic system, a notion that many scholars have often been unwilling to accept, leads to some interesting new interpretations of the data.

Prepositions in Old and Middle English
Author(s): Tom Lundskær-NielsenThe present book covers various aspects of prepositional syntax between c. 900-1400, including case relations and the range of prepositional complements; it also examines word order, both within the PP and at clause level, and it explores changes in clausal word order. Furthermore, it provides a detailed semantic analysis of the three prepositions at, in and on in selected Old and Middle English texts, which shows to what extent the relative distribution of these prepositions changed during that period and how they gradually acquired new, extended senses.The front cover illustration renders the 895 entry of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Parker Ms., and has been reproduced with the permission of the Master and Fellows of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
