项目摘要

The evolution of the entire English vocabulary is explored with particular emphasis on the explication of the relation between a great influx of Latin and French words in the ME period and the syntactic changes of the same period. For this purpose, I compiled an etymology database of English making use of electronic dictionaries of English.In stead of Oxford English Dictionary 2nd ed. On Magnetic Tape, which I had planned to use as a main source of the etymological information but was unavailabe, EDR English dictionaries, Concise Oxford dictionary 8th ed. (COD8), and Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary 10th ed. (WC10) were used as the basis for compiling our etymological database. EDR dictionaries turned out to be suitable for a core material since they are complied for use in the field of natural language processing. Material from EDR dictionaries were supplimented with the etymological material from COD8 and WC10.Along with the compliation of the etymological database, I examined the details of syntactic changes in Middle English. Since microscopic details of syntactic changes are more important for this study than overall tendencies of the syntactic changes, it is necessary to select individual writers that came between Chaucer and Shakespeare and put them under careful syntactic scrutiny. I picked up some writers that are included in Paston Letters.

本文考察了整个英语词汇的演变过程，重点阐述了英语词汇在ME时期大量涌入与同一时期的句法变化之间的关系。为此，我利用英语电子词典编制了一个英语词源数据库，而不是牛津英语词典第二版。关于磁带，我曾计划将其用作词源信息的主要来源，但无法获得，EDR英语词典，简明牛津词典第8版。(COD8)，和梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特大学词典第10版。(WC10)作为编制词源数据库的基础。EDR词典被证明是适合作为核心材料的，因为它们是为在自然语言处理领域使用而汇编的。使用COD8和WC10中的词源材料对EDR词典中的语料进行补充，并结合词源数据库的编制，考察了中古英语句法变化的细节。由于句法变化的微观细节比句法变化的总体趋势更重要，因此有必要选择介于乔叟和莎士比亚之间的个别作家，并对他们进行仔细的句法审查。我挑选了一些被收录在《牧师家书》中的作家。
