Synopsis

This book is an investigation of the Peterborough chronicle and its place in Old Mercian. This chronicle is the most well-known and valuable document of the Old Mercian language and contains extensive insights into the history, language, and culture of this period. The author examines the different linguistic features of the Peterborough chronicle, situating it within the context of the broader history of the Old Mercian language and its relationship to other languages from the same period. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the chronicle's phonology and morphology, shedding light on the sound system, grammar, and vocabulary of Old Mercian. This exploration is not only significant for understanding Old Mercian in particular but also the development of Middle English and the evolution of the English language as a whole.
