The aim of this paper is to integrate Information Structure/IS-related insights of past work on the subject system of Old English with a particular formal account of word-order variation and change in earlier English that did not take IS considerations into account.

We offer a first detailed formal account of how the IS-sensitive Old English subject positions can be understood in the context of an OV system which was becoming increasingly VO, and thereafter outline subject-related developments during Middle English and Early Modern English, leading us to the present day. Against the background of these diachronic developments, our contention is that English has, in one way or another, exhibited IS-sensitive subject positions throughout its history and that, as argued by Kiss (1996), it continues to do so today.L'objectiu d'aquest article és integrar idees relacionades amb l'Estructura Informativa (EI) de treballs anteriors sobre el subjecte oracional de l'anglès antic amb una explicació formal concreta de la variació i el canvi en l'ordre de mots en l'anglès primerenc que no tenia en compte l'EI. Presentem una primera explicació formal detallada de com les posicions de subjecte de l'anglès antic que són sensibles a l'EI es poden explicar en el context d'un sistema OV que començava a ser progressivament VO, i a continuació esbossem els desenvolupaments en la sintaxi del subjecte durant l'anglès mitjà i el principi de l'anglès modern, que ens porten fins a l'anglès actual. Amb el rerefons d'aquests desenvolupaments diacrònics, defensem que l'anglès ha presentat, d'una manera o altra, posicions de subjecte sensibles a l'EI al llarg de tota la història i que, com defensa Kiss (1996), encara ho fa. 22011-01-0120112011-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/88139https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5565/rev/catjl.32reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
