The contributions deal with various aspects of English language across time and geographical space, shedding light on both long-term developments and singular documents of particular linguistic interest. A wide range of methodologies are represented, including corpus linguistics, acoustic phonetics and philology. Chapters showcase work on syntax and word order (parataxis and hypotaxis from Old to Late Modern English; left-dislocation in Old English; do-support in Scots), diachronic linguistic change (phonological developments of lateral /l/ in English; modality in noun clauses from Old to Early Modern English; editorial practices of Middle English punctuation across time) and lexicography and lexis (Old English glosses of the Durham Ritual; Old English lexicographers from 17th-century Germany; lexical differences between Old and Middle English; Yiddish loanwords in English). This volume will be of interest to those working on morphology, syntax and lexicography of English, historical linguistics, language change, history of linguistics, computational historical linguistics and related sub-disciplines. 363 4 4 2024 3 23 2024 9789027214713 9789027247001 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cilt.363 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027247001 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027247001.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cilt.363/html Melanie Vollbrecht University of Göttingen https://ror.org/01y9bpm73 From John Joscelyn to Dietrich von Stade Abstract This paper retraces the early modern beginnings of systematic Old English studies in England and continental Europe. It shows that linguistic study was born out of research interests in the fields of theology, law, and local history to name but a few; and that scholars needed dictionaries as tools to understand this archaic form of English. In the 16th century, John Joscelyn and John Parker created a substantial dictionary of Old English, of which several Northern German copies exist today. This paper explores the production processes of Joscelyn/Parker’s dictionary as well as the Northern German copies, as can be gleaned from the similarities and, more importantly, the differences in layout, entry-count and -content, and marginal markings in the manuscripts. 4 4 2024 3 23 2024 166 190 10.1075/cilt.363.08vol https://benjamins.com/catalog/cilt.363.08vol https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cilt.363.08vol/html Glossarium Anglo-Saxonico-Latinum E = Eckhart 1700–1712 Glossarium Anglo-Saxonico-Latinum H* = (?)Hinckelmann Dictionarium.
