Old English prose adjectives meaning "holy": towards a characterization of a lexical field
Fúsik, Ondřej ; Čermák, Jan (advisor) ; Tichý, Ondřej (referee)
The work attempts to contribute to mapping of the lexical field of HOLINESS in Old English prosaic texts. The lexical field in this work is represented by four adjectives (halig, gebletsod, gesælig, gehalgod) which are chosen from the Thesaurus of Old English from which one - halig is chosen to be analysed in this work. The mapping of this adjective is conducted in the York-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose by identifying morphological and syntactical categories of the adjective (predicative, attributive; both pre-positive and post-positive functions) as well as by the collocational sets (conceptual fields). The results then show the ways in which the adjective differs in named categories in relations to its collocational set. The work is also interdisciplinary as the interpretation of the collocational sets is based both on philological as well as theological bases due to the fact that halig mainly appears in religious texts.

The mapping is conducted in the York-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose by identifying morphological and syntactical categories of each adjective (predicative, attributive, postpositive functions, comparative and superlative forms; modification by adverbs) as well as the collocational sets (conceptual fields). The results then show the way in which the given adjectives differ in named categories.
