    Measuring typological syntheticity of English diachronically with the use of corpora

  • Original language description

    The paper proposes a quantitative, but holistic methodology for establishing a level of morphological syntheticity. The methodology is based on a series of corpus-based probes into morphological behaviour of selected high-frequency nouns, adjectives andverbs from Old English to Present-Day English. Reflecting on the distribution of the morphological markers in the four periods under scrutiny, levels of syntheticity are established that correspond to the textbook story of a typological re-shaping in thehistory of English.
