The Syntax of Old Norse : With a survey of the inflectional morphology and a complete bibliography PDF
by Jan Terje Faarlund
Description
This book offers the first account of Old Norse syntax for almost a hundred years and the first ever in a non-Scandinavian language.
The language of the Vikings and of the Old Icelandic sagas is the best documented medieval Germanic language and the author is able to present a comprehensive analysis of its syntax and overviews of its phonology and morphology.
He supports his analyses with examples taken from Norwegian and Icelandic manuscript editions.
ProfessorFaarlund's approach is descriptive, in a generative framework with a minimum of technical detail.
He includes a complete bibliography of Old Norse syntax. The book is intended for advanced students and scholars of historical linguistics, Germanic and Scandinavian languages, Norse philology, and all others with a serious interest in Nordic languages, civilizations, and history.
