Riassunto

The problem of the continuity and development of English prose is still being investigated, and the papers collected here all represent attempts to look at the question. The volume begins with an investigation of word order in the Ancrene Wisse and Richard Rolle's English epistles, followed by studies of prose rhythm in Wulfstan's De Falsis Dies; the relationship between punctuation, rhythmical unit markers and syntax in Late Old English orally-delivered prose; Scandinavian elements in Rolle's Form of Living; and the texts of `Be Cynestole' in Wulfstan's Institutes of Polity. It concludes with papers discussing manuscript punctuation as evidence for linguistic change and an electronic corpus of diplomatic parallel manuscript texts as a research tool for Early English scholars.Professor TADAO KUBOUCHI teaches at the University of Tokyo.
