초록
The English language has progressed from a language with varied surface word orders towards a language with fixed surface order due to a general reduction of inflections. Old English looked similar to Middle and Modern English with regard to the SVO order in the main clauses. However, Middle and Modern English were very different from Old English with regard to the order in the subordinate clauses. This paper discusses in depth base as well as surface order in the history of English, based on a stimulating perspective from the recent language development theories set forth by Lightfoot (1981, 1997a, 1997b), Canale (1978), etc. After that, this paper provides a full‐fledged account of word order variations in the English language in terms of a set of universal, hierarchical constraints.
Abstract
The English language has progressed from a language with varied surface word orders towards a language with fixed surface order due to a general reduction of inflections. Old English looked similar to Middle and Modern English with regard to the SVO order in the main clauses. However, Middle and Modern English were very different from Old English with regard to the order in the subordinate clauses. This paper discusses in depth base as well as surface order in the history of English, based on a stimulating perspective from the recent language development theories set forth by Lightfoot (1981, 1997a, 1997b), Canale (1978), etc. After that, this paper provides a full‐fledged account of word order variations in the English language in terms of a set of universal, hierarchical constraints.
