Resumen

Este estudio versa sobre la sintaxis y la semántica de los verbos de movimiento del inglés antiguo, incluidos los verbos de movimiento neutro, los verbos de modo de movimiento y los verbos de trayectoria de movimiento. Su objetivo es identificar las alternancias morfosintácticas en las que participan estos verbos. La base teórica de la investigación se basa en la semántica del movimiento de Goddard, el modelo de clases y alternancias verbales de Levin, y la distinción tipológica de Talmy entre lenguas de marco satélite y lenguas de marco verbal. Los patrones gramaticales de los verbos objeto de análisis se analizan tal y como se describen en el Diccionario de Inglés Antiguo (Healey), haciendo hincapié en el estudio de la transitividad, el caso, el gobierno preposicional y la reflexividad. En cuanto a los componentes de significado, este trabajo se centra en el estudio de la polisemia. Las conclusiones de este estudio hacen referencia a la coherencia del comportamiento sintáctico de los verbos analizados y a las principales alternancias encontradas dentro de las clases verbales.
