Item A review of: Mostly medieval: In memory of Jacek Fisiak. By Hans Sauer & Piotr P. Chruszczewski (eds.). Academic Publishing, 2020. Pp. xii + 555.(Adam Mickiewicz University, 2021) Ogura, MichikoItem Periphrastic renderings and their element order in Old English versions of the Gospels(Adam Mickiewicz University, 2008) Ogura, MichikoInterlinear glosses are expected to show one-to-one correspondence of Anglo-Saxon renderings to the Latin original, while free translation is allowed to use words, phrases and clauses of ordinary usage, even though Latin can affect Old English in the choice of words, expressions and style. This paper aims at a comparative study of Old English versions of the Gospels, i.e. Northumbrian Lindisfarne and Rushworth 2, Mercian Rushworth 1, and West Saxon versions in two manuscripts – MSS CCCC 140 and CUL Ii. 2.11 – in order to show a variety of renderings found in interlinear glosses as well as free translation, especially on simple/periphrastic correspondence and element order.Item Some peculiar forms of Old English verbs(Adam Mickiewicz University, 2016) Ogura, MichikoIn late Old English it became common to find strange verb forms of which had less frequently appeared in earlier texts. It is clear that Old English paradigms started to modify their shapes, though their structure had never been completely established in the first place due to limited data. This article discusses some examples of Old English verbs which show a morphological merger in addition to phonetic, syntactic, or semantic resemblance, e.g., between wendan and gewendan, þyncan and þencan, læran and leornian, (ge)witan and (ge)wītan, blissian and bletsian, and biddan, (be)beodan, and forbeodan, so as to show the natural selection of Old English verbs in the process of lexical conflict.
