The Development of Old English Verbs of Motion

这三年来，我一直在研究古英语动作动词的发展。本研究的目的是研究古英语时期的所有动作动词，它们的功能和意义，它们在那个时期特有的特征，并找到在以前的研究中从未报道过的实例。第一年，必须收集书籍、文章和计算机语料库作为基本材料。从第一年开始，我就开始在国内或国外发表部分研究结果。每当我离开这个国家，我就阅读论文，在图书馆检查手稿，并继续为这门学科收集资料。我参加过两次国际英语历史语言学会议（ICEHL）（爱丁堡和波兹南）和两次在利兹大学举行的国际中世纪大会。在国内，我曾连续三次在日本英语语言学会大会、英国历史语言学和文献学京都会议、日本中世纪英语研究学会发表论文。在国内发表论文5篇，在国外发表论文4篇，发表论文16篇（已发表6篇），著有1部，合作著作3部。研究结果将被收录在名为《中世纪英语运动动词的发展》的书中，并将在不久的将来在英国出版。

For these three years I have been working on this subject, the development of Old English verbs of motion. The aim of this study is to examine all verbs of motion in the Old English period, their function and meaning, their features peculiar to that period, and to find instances which have never been reported in previous studies.For the first year, books, articles, and computer corpora had to be collected as basic materials. From the very first year I started publishing parts of the findings either at home or abroad. Whenever I went out of the country, I read papers, examined manuscripts in libraries, and kept on collecting materials for the subject. I have been to the International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (ICEHL) twice (Edinburgh and Poznan) and International Medieval Congress at University of Leeds twice. At home I delivered papers in general meetings of the English Linguistic Society of Japan three times in succession, in the Kyoto Conference on English Historical Linguistics and Philology, and in the Japan Society for Medieval English Studies. I read 5 papers at home, 4 abroad, wrote 16 articles (6 of which have already been published), one book and three joint works. The results will be incorporated into a book entitled The Development of the Verbs of Motion in Medieval English and will be published from the U.K.in the near future.
