A Grammar of Old English, Volume 2 cover

A Grammar of Old English, Volume II: Morphology completes Richard M. Hogg's two-volume analysis of the sounds and grammatical forms of the Old English language.

  • Incorporates insights derived from the latest theoretical and technological advances, which post-date most Old English grammars
  • Utilizes the databases of the Toronto Dictionary of Old English project - a digital corpus comprising at least one copy of each text surviving in Old English
  • Features separation of diachronic and synchronic considerations in the sometimes complicated analysis of Old English noun morphology
  • Includes extensive bibliographical coverage of Old English morphology

“Above all, A Grammar of Old English. Volume 2: Morphology definitely serves its purpose as a work of reference. Its paragraphs are numbered separately and the inclusion of indexes of words as well as of subjects makes the work easy to consult. These features, combined with the undisputed quality of its contents, make this volume the reference work of choice for all Old English scholars and their overly ambitious students.”  (English Studies, 1 October 2013

“Old English has a new authoritative grammar that will take its place as a reliable resource for decades to come and inspire more studies on the language.  It is a striking accomplishment.”  (English Language and Linguistics, 1 January 2013)
