La morfología de los verbos de origen romance en The Complaynt of Scotland

Abstract

A recurren! feature of early Modern English and Middle Scots is the variation in the past participle and preterí te forms of Latín or French derived verbs ending in -t, since uninnected forms, which retain their loanword status (crear, execut), coexist with fonns more acclirnatized to the English verbal system (created, executed). This paper studies the morphology of these Romance verbs in The Complaynt of Scorland ( 1549), a literary work in prose writtcn in Scots and modelled on Chartier's Quadrilogue lnvectif
