Middle Welsh can now be studied exhaustively owing to the availability of millions of words of text, mostly in machine-readable form. This paper analyses the extensive variation in conjugated prepositions seen in thirteenth-century manuscripts, and uses it to shed light on the evolution of the language between Old and Modern Welsh, on the varying linguistic preferences of poets and prose writers, and on the emergence of the Welsh dialects.

Variation in Middle Welsh Conjugated Prepositions: Chronology, Register and Dialect

Abstract Dieser Aufsatz behandelt, zum Teil im Vergleich mit frühirischer Dichtung, die kymrischen Gedichte, die traditionell den Dichtern Aneirin und Taliesin des sechsten Jahrhunderts zugeschrieben werden. Er vertritt den Standpunkt, daß die linguistischen Einwände gegen eine so frühe Datierung irrig oder nicht schlüssig sind, legt allerdings auch dar, warum mangels grammatischen Vergleichsmaterials aus dem sechsten Jahrhundert es nicht gelungen ist zu zeigen, daß die Sprache dieser Gedichte nicht auch ein oder mehrere Jahrhunderte jünger sein könnte.
