This book was released on 2003 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The influence exerted upon English vocabulary by words that derive from the Scandinavian languages is widespread and profound. These words entered English by Norse speakers in the Anglo-Saxon period, and they claim amongst their number some of the most frequent and important items of everyday modern usage. There nevertheless remains a great deal about this element that we do not properly understand. This book presents etymological and contextual studies of the lexical terms originally derived from Old Norse that are found in the principal early Middle English texts from the South-West Midlands. This is a region that contains some of the most celebrated literary works of the period when Norse-derived words first appear in significant numbers in written English (the late twelfth to the later thirteenth century); being outside the area of the Danelaw, it also presents crucial opportunities for us to understand the transmission of Norse-derived vocabulary to parts of England beyond those of the heaviest initial Scandinavian settlement. This book will be of interest to scholars of early English lexicology, semantics and dialectology, to those studying the background to and linguistic resources of early Middle English literature, and to all those fascinated by the Scandinavian contribution to the history of the English language." --

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: This paper intends to give an insight into the processes that formed Old English under the influence of Old Norse. Noticeably, languages are constantly changing, but in the case of Old English the situation has been particular different from that of other languages. Old English came only into contact with other languages via invasion, raids or traders by ships that sailed to England. Furthermore, due to that fact that some of the Scandinavians finally settled on the island a long lasting language exchange was made possible. In addition to that this it is interesting to state that, again due to the isolation of the island, the impact of Old Norse could remain until today. The paper tries to answer the question: To which extent did Old Norse influence Old English? It provides information on the historical aspects: How did the two languages encounter and what syntactical, semantic, lexical, and loanword changes were introduced. The paper deals with the very rare topic of one language, changing another one’s grammar by language contact. Additionally,it tries to explain why certain words where introduced to English language and how the loss of inflection came about. Furthermore, it provides information on the particular circumstance in the case of Old English and Old Norse supported a vivid language contact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever book-length study for the nature and significance of the linguistic contact between speakers of Old Norse and Old English in Viking Age England. It investigates in a wide-ranging and systematic fashion a foundational but under-considered factor in the history and culture of the Vikings in England. The subject is important for late Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age history; for language and literature in the late Anglo-Saxon period; and for the history and development of the English language. The work's primary focus is on Anglo-Norse language contact, with a particular emphasis on the question of possible mutual intelligibility between speakers of the two languages; but since language contact is an emphatically sociolinguistic phenomenon, the work's methodology combines linguistic, literary and historical approaches, and draws for its evidence on texts in Old English, Old Norse and Anglo-Latin, and other forms of linguistic and onomastic material
