Internal and External Forces Again: Changes in Word Order in Old English and Old Irish.
Hickey, Raymond
Language Sciences, v24 n3-4 p261-83 May-Jul 2002
Looks at two languages, one well known and the other less so, that have undergone changes in word order. Data for the two languages in question--English and Irish--are compared. Parallels in the internal mechanisms suggested for the attested word order changes in both Old English and Old Irish are examined critically. (Author/VWL)
