| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research is to select the possible resultative constructions in Old English and Middle English, using the two parsed diachronic corpora ; YCOE (Old English) and PPCME2 (Middle English). The KWIC Concordance Program for Windows was used to make a concordance of the small clauses beginning with the tag [IP-SMC]. About 6,400 small clauses were found in the two parsed corpora. Then we checked whether the resultative construction exists from among the small clauses.
As the result of the research, one example was found in the YCOE corpus and 31 examples were found in the PPCME2 corpus. We add the new findings to the previous study conducted by Visser (1967) ; the eleven verbs (bake, well (meaning boil), to-breken (meaning break up), pierce, put (meaning push), stamp, cut ,shut, colour, hew, strike) and the 8 resultative predicates (blind, fast, full, hard, hot, short, stark (meaning strong), white).
