“…The texts analysed by Timmer, however, do not include glosses to Latin texts, which tend to follow the word order of the original and have, therefore, the genitive in post-position even in late Old English (10th century). This is the case in Lindisfarne, as shown by Rodríguez Ledesma (2016), which analised the word order of adnominal constructions with the seven personal hic est fabri filius ioseph, ah þis nis smiðes sunu iosep 'Is not this Joseph the carpenter's son?' 30 Cf.…”

This volume contains a collection of works by Spanish researchers on the History of the English Language and Medieval Studies, in which the philological perspective is central. These scholars have come together in this tribute to Professor Smith, having shared decades of professional relationship, both in Glasgow and in different universities in Spain. These contributions are closely aligned with some of his main interests and areas of expertise, mainly manuscript studies, historical linguistics and editing. The chapters cover a wide range of topics related to philological studies and are aimed at both professionals and students.

“…9 As can be seen in the table, -es is the dominant ending in the genitive singular of these nouns. There are some tokens of zero inflection, a feature of Northern dialects normally associated with Middle English but already attested in Old Northumbrian (see Rodríguez Ledesma 2015Ledesma , 2016. By contrast, there is only one occurrence of the etymological inflection.…”

Changes in progress in late Northumbrian: the extension of -s as genitive and plural marker

English Language and Linguistics

Some of the linguistic changes which are crucial in the history of English and have traditionally been ascribed to Middle English can already be observed in late Northumbrian. One of these changes is the extension of genitive singular -es from the a-stems to other noun classes. Another is the spread of nominative/accusative plural -as from the masculine a-stems to the neuters and to other declensions. The aim of this article is to establish the actual scale on which these two interparadigmatic analogical changes are found in the glosses to the Lindisfarne Gospels and to the Durham Collectar, both dating from the tenth century. The present study intends to shed more light on the process of morphological restructuring affecting the declensional system of late Northumbrian, and has three main aims: (a) to determine the pattern of dissemination of the innovative inflectional endings; (b) to establish which variables are significant in these analogical processes: declension, type and token frequency, grammatical context, Latin lemma, demarcation; and (c) to account for the different developmental tendencies of these two linguistic changes.

Even if some studies, such as Baker (1998, 198) and Rodríguez Ledesma (2016), do take them into account, some of the most relevant works on vocabulary tend not to refer to them (Kastovsky 1992(Kastovsky , 2006Gneuss 1993). In some other cases, authors prefer to discard them given their specific idiosyncrasy (Durkin 2014, 11 and fn7).…”

The Inflection of Latin Feminine Proper Names in the Old English Martyrology

This paper focuses on the inflections of Latin feminine names in Old English. Whereas most Latin loanwords are perfectly integrated and behave like Old English words as far as their morphology is concerned, like scientific loans, names can take inflectional endings from both Latin and Old English. Ruiz Narbona (2023) has shown that, in the case of masculine names, the distribution of both types of inflections followed certain clear patterns. Following the model of that study, the analysis of the 125 tokens from the Old English Martyrology shows that certain rules can also be established in the case of feminine names. In general terms, the inflections of these names are modelled after Old English weak n-stems, although nominative inflections are invariably Latin. The case with the more widespread variation is the genitive, where both Old English and Latin inflections are consistently used. The latter, however, are heavily restricted to introductory sections and function solely as post-modifiers.
