고대영어 어순의 역사적 고찰 = A Study on Word Order in OLD ENGLISH

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper's aim is to study the characteristic of Old English word order. This framework constitutes the foundation for the analysis and determination of the historical development of word order in natural languages.
In contrast to Modern English, Old English was complicated and highly inflectional. Practically all the grammatical relationships to which the language gave attention could be expressed by inflections and the accusative-object as well as the dative-object could stand in any position without changing the sentence meaning. However, English has lost most of suffix inflections, while it has developed the characteristics of analytic language. As the result, its word order has been fixed on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has another characteristic which is able to change word order freely. That is, word order in English has not only regulative phase but also free phase.
Accordingly word order has become an important device to express structural and grammatical relationships, and synthetic structure has changed to analytic one.
