1.序
古英語(Old English : OE)の等位接続構文の統語形式を扱った主要な記述的研究として
Reszkiewicz(1966),Traugott(1972)およびMitchell(1985)がある。そこでは,OEの語
順の顕著な特徴の一つとして次のことが記述されている。つまり,句等位接続構文(=各等位
項が句(phrase)である等位接続構文)として,統語形式上,等位項と等位項が接している
次の(1)に示したようなものだけでなく,等位項が分離している(2)に例示したようなも
のが用いられた。
(1)X1&X2型 (X1,X2=等位項;&=等位接続詞)
Her Kynegils 7 Cwichelm gefuhton on Beandune, ... (ChronE 614.1―2) (=Inthis year Cynegils and Cwichelm fought at Beandon (Bampton?), ...)
(2)X1 ... & X2型
a.Chron. 12.2. (455) æfter am Hengest feng to rice 7 Æsc his sunu ‘after
that Hengest succeeded to kingdom and Æsc his son=and after that
Hengest and his son Æsc succeeded to the kingdom’. (Traugott (1972 : 97))
b.Chron. 265.10 (1137) Xpist slept 7 his halechen ‘Christ slept and his
apostles=Christ and his apostles slept’. (ibid.)

古英語の句等位接続構文の統語形式再考
〔ABSTRACT〕 This paper deals with the syntactic forms of coordinate
constructions in Old English (OE). In OE the coordinate constructions of the form
(ii) in which a conjunct is split were used, as well as those of the form (i) :
(i) X1& X2 (&=a coordinate conjunction)
(ii) X1 ... & X2
The purpose of this paper is two fold ; to offer detailed data on the frequency of
the use of these forms, and to examine the adequacy of the description about the
frequency of the use of these forms which is given by Iwata (2007 ; 2008) on the
basis of The York-Tronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose. As a result
of the investigation, Iwata’s (2007 ; 2008) description is proved to be sound.

の割合で分離形式の構文(e. g. (2))が用いられるのかという統計上の数値に基づいた記述を
提示した。
本稿の目的は,岩田(2007:194の註2;2008:203の註2)で指摘されている英語の句等位
接続構文の統語形式に関する課題の一つに対する解答を試みることである。つまり,
Reszkiewicz(1966)などによる上記の記述の妥当性を検討し OEの句等位接続構文の統語形
式を記述するにあたって,岩田(2007;2008)は上述のように OEの言語事実を収集するテキ
ストとして Chronという単一のテキストのみを使用した。そのため,その検討結果が果たし
て古英語一般についてどの程度妥当なものであるのかという課題が残っている。そこで本稿で
は英語の100の散文テキスト(総語数150万語)を収めているコーパスである The York-
Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose (YCOE) を用いて,古英語の句等位
接続構文の統語形式を再度調べることにする。そして,その調査結果に基づいて,OEの句等
位接続構文の非分離形式(e. g. (1))と分離形式の使用率に関する岩田(2007;2008)の記述
の妥当性を検討してみたい。
2.先行研究
まず,Reszkiewicz(1966)によれば,OEでは,句等位接続構文として(1)の形式の構
文と並んで,(2)のような不連続構文が用いられ,後者が OEの典型的な特徴である(1)。次
に,Traugott(1972:97)によると,(2)のタイプの分離形式の等位構文は初期古英語
(Early Old English)と中期古英語(Middle Old English)で特に普通に用いられ(cf. (2
a)),後期古英語(Late Old English)になっても用いられた(cf. (2 b))。さらに,Mitchell
(1985:§1464,§1472)も,OEでは分離形式の等位構文が普通に用いられたと述べている。
このように,Reszkiewicz(1966),Traugott(1972:97),Mitchell(1985:§1464,§147
2)のいずれもが,OEにおいて,句等位接続構文として非分離形式のものだけでなく分離形
式のものも用いられたと指摘している。しかし,そのいずれにおいてもそれぞれの形式が果た
してどの程度の割合で使用されたのかについては示されていない。そこで,岩田(2007;
2008)は Chronの英語を,この年代記が書き始められた891年から1000年までのものと1001年
から1154年に書かれたものに区分し,それぞれを OE(―1000)と OE(1001―1154)と表記し,このテキストで使用されている句等位接続構文の非分離形式(例えば下記の(3)と(4))
と分離形式(例えば下記の(5)と(6))の使用率を調査した。その結果は下記の(7)の
ようにまとめることができる。
(3)Her Adrianus papa 7 Offa cyning for�ferdon, ... (ChronD 794.1―3) (=In thisyear pope Adrian and king Offa died ; ...)
(4)7 te king for ider 7 besætte him 7 his brother Willelm de R.. are in e castel,
... (ChronE 1140.10) (=And the king went thither and besieged him and his
brother William de Roumare in the castle.)
(5)Her Cynewulf benam Sigebryht his rices, 7 Westseaxna wiotan, for unryhtum
dædum, buton Hamtúnscire, ... (ChronA 755.1―5) (=In this year Cynewulf andthe West Saxon ‘witan’ deprived Sigebryht [, his kinsman,] of his kingdom, for
his unrighteous deeds, except Hampshire ; ...)

(6) a on o�ran Easter dæge sæt he mid �am cyninege æt gereorde, a fræingasah he ni�er wi� æs fotsetles spræce benumen, 7 earle his mihte, ... (ChronC1053.4―7) (=Then on the second Easter-day he was sitting with the king atrefection, when he suddenly sank down by the footstool, deprived of speech
and of all his power ; ...)
(7) OE(―1000) OE(1001―1154)非分離形式 400例 495例
88.9% 88.2%
分離形式 50例 66例
11.1% 11.8%
つまり,Chronでは,OE(―1000)と OE(1001―1154)のいずれの時期においてもすべての句等位接続構文のうちおよそ11%―12%のものが分離形式として用いられ,OEの両時期において大差なく分離形式が一般的に使用された。
では,OEの句等位接続構文の統語形式の使用率に関して Chronの英語に基づいてなされ
たこの岩田(2007;2008)の記述の妥当性を以下で検討してみる。
3.YCOEからの事例
まず,本節では,OEの句等位接続構文の統語形式に関する事例を紹介する。そして,その
事例を収集するための資料として本稿では,上述のように,YCOEを使用する。次に,古英
語を,The Helsinki Corpus of English Texts : Diachronic and Dialectal に従って,OE I
期(―850),OE II期(850―950),OE III期(950―1050),OE IV期(1050―1150)に分ける。ただし,OE I期のテキストの分量がきわめて少ないため,本稿では OE I期と OE II期をひ
とつにまとめ,収集した事例を OE I期―OE II期,OE III期,OE IV期の3期に分けて提示する。また,収集した事例は,非分離形式のものと分離形式のものに分けて示す。その際に,
現代英語と同じ形式である非分離形式の事例はできる限り少なく紹介し,形式上,現代英語と
異なる分離形式の事例はできるだけ多く紹介する。

YCOEから収集した事例に基づいて OE各時期の句等位接続構文の非分離形式と分離形式
の事例数と使用率を示すと以下のようになる。
12 天理大学学報 第61巻第1号
(96) OE I期―OE II期 OE III期 OE IV期非分離形式 5,507例 9,428例 3,020例
84.3% 86.1% 88.5%
分離形式 1,027例 1,528例 391例
15.7% 13.9% 11.5%
OEにおいて,句等位接続構文の分離形式の使用率は,OE I期(―850)―OE II期(850―950),OE III期(950―1050),OE IV期(1050―1150)においてそれぞれ,15.7%,13.9%,11.5%である。このことから,OEにおいて句等位接続構文の分離形式は一般に使用され,その使用
率は徐々に減少するものの,最も使用率の高いのが OE I期―OE II期の15.7%で最も使用率の低いのが OE IV期の11.5%であり,各時期の使用率に大差があるとは認められない(3)。そ
の結果,OEの句等位接続構文の統語形式に関して,複数のテキストからなる YCOEという
新たな資料に基づく本稿の調査は,本稿の2節に示した Chronという単一のテキストに基づ
く岩田(2007;2008)の統計調査の結果についての記述がその一般性に関して妥当なものであ
ることを示している。
5.まとめ
岩田(2007;2008)は Chronという単一のテキストに基づいて OEにおける句等位接続構
文の非分離形式と分離形式の使用率を記述した。その記述によると,OEでは句等位接続構文
のうち一割強の割合で分離形式のものが一般的に用いられた。本稿では,YCOEという複数
個のテキストから成るより大きな資料に基づいてその岩田(2007;2008)の記述の妥当性を検
証した。その結果,それが妥当なものであることが実証された。
註
(1) Traugott(1992:276)も OEの文要素の配列については,Reszkiewicz(1966)とほぼ同じ
内容の記述をしている。
(2) 本稿の第3節では事例の現代語訳は(86),(87),(91),(92)については Thorpe(1964:
vol.2)のものを用い,(84)と(90)を除くそれ以外の事例の現代語による逐語訳として The
BrooklynGenevaAmsterdamHelsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English (the Brooklyn Corpus)
に示されているものを用いることにする。
(3) ちなみに,YCOEのテキストに基づくと,OE期全体の非分離形式の使用率は85.9%
(17,955例)で,分離形式の使用率は14.1%(2,946例)である。
