{"product_id":"9780521458481","title":"Old English","description":"Old English is a companion to Old English studies and to historical studies of early English in general. It is also an introduction to Indo-European studies in the particular sense in which they underpin the history of English. Professor Roger Lass makes accessible in a linguistically up-to-date and readable form the Indo-European and Germanic background to Old English, as well as what can be reconstructed about the resulting state of Old English itself. His book is a bridge between the more elementary Old English grammars and the major philological grammars and recent interpretations of the Old English data.Old English assumes a basic knowledge of phonetics and phonology, the elements of syntactic and morphological theory, and an introduction to historical linguistics. An extensive glossary gives definitions of the major technical terms used.","brand":"Roger Lass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45780084228414,"sku":"9780521458481","price":3814.62,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780521458481_64ff743e-a267-4deb-8881-fb2849490e3b.jpg?v=1707291540","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780521458481","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
