A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The fo Uowitig essays make no claim to supply the long-felt want of a grammar of Sweet s Oldest English Texts, They are concerned with the investigation of certain problems in Old English phonology, with a view to ascertaining the distinctive characteristics of the Old English dialects and the chronological sequence of the sound-changes which marked the early history of the language. It ought to be explained that these essays were completed in A pril of last year, several months before I was able to see the third edition of Sievers A ngelsdchsische Orammatik, Consequently the references are to the second edition (C ook s Translation) throughout. I have called attention, however, in the footnotes to many of the changes introduced in the third edition, and I hope that I have not passed over anything of importance bearing on the problems here discussed. It will be found that several of the theories, against which I have contended in the earlier chaptgrs of this paper, have been in part modified or withdrawn in the third edition; in one or two cases, indeed, the new explanation is practically identical with that which I have proposed. After some hesitation I decided to let my work remain in its original form, because Sievers book, while stating conclusions, does not profess to give a detailed account of the processes by which these conclusions have been attained.
