Main Article Content
Аннотация:
This article examines the syntactic development of Middle English (circa 1150–1500 CE), focusing on shifts in word order, clause structure, and the interaction of morphology with emerging positional constraints. The study explores the decline of inflectional endings inherited from Old English, the increasing reliance on rigid subject–verb–object sequences, and the introduction of auxiliary constructions. Furthermore, the article evaluates the influence of French and Latin on subordinate clause patterns and the gradual emergence of modern English syntax.
