Word Order & Sentence Structure M&R §§143–153 ENG240Y Old English / Mon 18 Oct 2010
Word order in present-day English ● headclause: SVO Jack eats carrots. ● subclause: SVO I know [that Jack eats carrots]. I know [that Jack carrots eats]. adv + headclause: SVO Then Jack ate a carrot. Then ate Jack a carrot. ● adv + headclause: VS Then came the aftershock. - only with certain intransitive verbs Eat carrots! ● imperative: VO ● interrogative with to be : VS Why was he here? ● interrogative with aux .: vSV What have I done? In short: word order in positive statements is rigidly SVO, while interrogatives and imperatives start with the verb.
Word order in Old English Numerous constructions are valid. Here are some: God lufode Iācob. ● headclause SVO ● headclause VSO Wæs h ē Osrices sunu. ● headclause SOV Þ ū þæt cwǣde. Ic wāt [þæt þū mē gehȳrst]. ● subclause SOV Ðā slōg se wind þone lēg on þæt ● adv + headclause VSO hūs. Þā sēo fǣmne cwæð: … ● adv + headclause SV ● adv + headc. + prep. VSiO Þā cwæð se engel tō hyre: … ● adv + headcl + prep. ViOS Þā cwæð him hǣlend tō: ... On þǣre tīde cwæð Petrus “X”. ● prep. + headclause VSO On ðǣm dǣge hē gemētte āne ēa. ● prep. + headclause SVO Ic wāt [þæt hē inc ābolgen wyrð]. ● subclause SiOV Ic wāt [þæt ūs cymð se Mæssias]. ● subclause iOVS
Word order in Old English In summary: ● SVO is default in headclauses, but expect variations Hēo cūðe Godes ǣ. ● an initial adverb is often immediately followed by a verb Ðonne byrnð sēo eorðe. ● when a clause contains multiple verbs, the main verb occurs in (near-)final position Hē wolde hine tō deaðe gedōn. ● in subclauses, all verbs occur towards the end Hē arn þā tō þām hǣlende [þā hē hine gesēah]. [Þā hē hine slēan wolde] þā fēoll hē underbæc. ● Imperatives are V(S)(O), much like in Modern English Æt þisses ofetes! Wes þū on ofeste!
Sentence structure Note: ● the use of pronouns to recapitulate (“Mama she done told me”) ● the use of pronouns to anticipate Þæt mē is sorga mǣst, þæt Adam sceal mīnne stōl behealdan. ● the splitting of groups within a subject/object Her cōm Port on Brytene and his twēgan sunan.
Sentence structure Note: ● conjunction-adverb correlation Þonne wē sind gelāðode, þonne sind wē untīgede. Þā þā hē slēp ðā genam hē ān rib of his sīdan. NB contrast “ Þā andswaredon þā Iūdēas. ” (pronoun) þā ... þā “when ... then” þonne … þonne “when … then” þǣr ... þǣr “where ... there” þider ... þider “whither ... thither” gif ... þonne “if ... then” When in doubt, the clause with VS is nearly always the headclause.
