More about the book
This book deals with the extension of the weak verbal preterite markers to the category of English strong verbs before the year 1500. The examination of a large corpus of data collected from numerous sources is complemented by the analysis of individual representative texts from the periods in question. The application of statistical methods allows the obtained results to be viewed with a considerable degree of reliability. The conclusions of the research indicate the dominition of the French language in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066 as the main influence on the process.
