고대영어의 도치현상 = A Study of Inversion in Old English

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper I have researched inverted sentences in Old English period. Inverted sentences are distributed very extensively in ASC which is a typical prose in Old English. The reason the inverted sentences are found in large numbers in Old English is that word order was not restricted as much as in modem English because inflection was abundant in Old English. The other reason rhythm and stress and they are closely interrelated with theme-rheme order. English has a strong tendency to place rhythmically heavy constituents at the end of the clause. On the contrary, the short unstressed constituents tend to occur at the first place of the clause. In each of these inversion type; that is, preposed adverbs of place and time, preposed adjectives, and preposed pronouns, the preposed elements become thematic and the inverted subjects become rhematic. Theme-rheme order, that is, the inverted order was kept well in Old English and the purpose of inversion was to stress the subject at the end of the clause.
