Title: On the rise of the ordinal number "second" in the Middle English
Authors: Molencki, Rafał
Keywords: other; second; late Middle English replacement
Issue Date: 2017
Citation: Linguistica Silesiana, Vol. 38 (2017), s. 137-144
Abstract: The article discusses the late Middle English replacement of the ordinal number other by the Romance loanword second. The major cause of the change was the ambiguity and polyfunctionality of the older native word. The study is based on the language material from the Dictionary of Old English Corpus, the Middle English Compendium and the Anglo-Norman Dictionary.
