The aim of this research is to establish the patterns in the evolution of English syntactic structures based on poetic fragments of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The article examines methodological approaches to the study of historical syntax, problems in the periodization of the history of the English language, and the specific features of syntactic structures in the Old English and Middle English periods. Previous studies have determined the state of the syntactic structure of the English language in the periods under consideration and have studied general trends in the development of English syntax. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that, for the first time, a correlation has been established between the genre specificity of poetic texts and the nature of syntactic changes in the transitional period from Old English to Middle English. Furthermore, unique mechanisms for preserving archaic syntactic models in the poetic fragments of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle have been identified. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of syntactic constructions in the poetic works of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. As a result of the research, trends in the development of syntax from the Old English to the Middle English period have been identified, and the necessity of a complex approach, which takes into account the genre specificity of texts in the diachronic analysis of syntax, has been substantiated. |
