Abstract
This paper introduces a new project currently in its planning stages. It is dedicated to pseudoarchaic
English, an area in linguistic studies which has so far hardly received any academic attention.
After providing some historical examples a brief selection of some present-day occurrences
as well as inspirational sources for these is given. Sample cases of pseudo-archaic English from
various linguistic categories are presented in order to illustrate the wide range of its usage. Some
remarks on modern perceptions of the linguistic past and their role in creating pseudo-archaic
forms are provided and followed by suggestions on what still needs to be done in this field.
