Ordinal Numerals as a Criterion for Subclassification: The Case of Semitic

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 240-256, March 2026.

Ordinals are often formed according to productive derivational processes, but as a separate word class, they may retain archaic morphology that is otherwise lost from the language.

Abstract Language change arising from language contact is a complex phenomenon. Peter Matthews encouraged researchers to consider it as firmly grounded in the behaviour of individual speakers. We apply this perspective to investigate the integration of Norse‐derived terms into medieval English, testing for the effect of their phonetic similarity to ...
