Resumen

Este artículo trata de la coexistencia de la flexión verbal y adjetival del participio pasado en inglés antiguo. Su objetivo es evaluar el grado de variación existente en la flexión del participio para determinar si el cambio empieza o no durante el período del inglés antiguo. El análisis está basado en dos corpora: el York Corpus of Old English y el Dictionary of Old English Corpus. Con estos corpora, se han analizado las siguientes variables en la flexión del participio: género (prosa y verso), tiempo (presente y pasado), clase morfológica (fuerte y débil) y caso (nominativo, acusativo, genitivo, dativo e instrumental). La conclusión principal de este artículo es que la evidencia cuantitativa de los corpora indica que el grado de variación del participio en inglés antiguo muestra que el cambio diacrónico está teniendo lugar. En general, el participio pasado y los textos de poesía reflejan claramente la pérdida de la flexión, mientras que la flexión adjetival del participio se corresponde con su función adjetival.
