Bo-Geun Hwang. 2001. An Analysis of Syntactic Structures of the Parker Chronicle. Studies Modern Grammar 23, 107-126. The analysis of the phrasal structures of the Parker chronicle reveals that the frequency of Adj+N (97.0%), Gen +N (99.2%), and Prep+N (96.3%) is much higher than that of N+Adj, N+Gen, and N+Prep. In appositional constructions, Head+Appositive (89.2%) is higher than Appositive+Head in frequency. In word-order patterns of the intransitive verbs, the V-2 type (58.2%) is predominant in the independent and main clauses, but in dependent clause the V-3 type (80.69%) is prevailing. As for the transitive verbs of the independent and main clauses, the frequencies of the types of V-1, V-2, and V-3 are 12.1%, 40.8%, and 47.1%, respectively; in the dependent clauses the V-3 type (81.6%) surpasses those of V-1 (2.6%) and V-2 (16.8%) in frequency. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the word-order pattern underwent changes, to a considerable degree, from SOV in the primitive Old English to SVO in the Old English recorded in the Parker Chronicle.
