Appendix: manuscript and corpus information -- $tReferences -- $tIndex 330 $aThis book investigates nominal determination in Old English and the emergence of the definite and the indefinite article. Analyzing Old English prose texts, it discusses the nature of linguistic categorization and argues that a usage-based, cognitive, constructionalist approach best explains when, how and why the article category developed. It is shown that the development of the OE demonstrative 'se' (that) and the OE numeral 'an' (one) should not be told as a story of two individual, grammaticalizing morphemes, but must be reconceptualized in constructional terms. The emergence of the morphological category 'article' follows from constructional changes in the linguistic networks of OE speakers and especially from 'grammatical constructionalization' (i.e. the emergence of a new, schematic, mostly procedural form-meaning pairing which previously did not exist in the constructicon). Next to other functional-cognitive reasons, the book especially highlights analogy and frequency effects as driving forces of linguistic change. 606 $aEnglish language$xWord formation 610 $aAnalogy. 610 $aArticles. 610 $aConstructionalization. 610 $aDefiniteness. 610 $aNominal Determination. 615 0$aEnglish language$xWord formation. 676 $a422 700 $aSommerer$b Lotte$01569313 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796766303321 996 $aArticle emergence in Old English$93842106 997 $aUNINA
