Analysis of motion verbs in an 11th century manuscript highlights linguistic evolution in English vocabulary.
During the Transition Period from Old English to Middle English (around the 11th century), we can find evidence of a vocabulary shift in some of the manuscripts. The aim of this paper is to show how verbs of motion were distributed in an 11th century manuscript written in Worcester, and to try to reason why the go-went paradigm became established.
