Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Notre Dame, 2007.

This dissertation explores the ways that Old and early Middle English texts use compound words within their linguistic and social contexts, combining a detailed study of linguistic and rhetorical phenomena with an informed approach to culture and language based on Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogic theories of language. A wide array of texts comprises the source base for this investigation, including Cynewulf's Juliana and Elene, the Old English Boethius translations, the Old English homilies of Archbishop Wulfstan, and the two versions of Layamon's Brut. These texts are chosen in order to explore the characteristics of compound words in texts of different time periods as well as in different discourses. Ultimately, this dissertation shows that, in all the texts examined, compound words are important linguistic sites that texts manipulate in order to achieve their goals; each text has different goals, but in each case compounds feature as prominent tools. Moreover, this dissertation shows that linguistic, social, and historical contexts play major roles in understanding how texts use compounds---and all language---to create meaning. Only when viewed in light of the generic affiliations of the text, the social position of the author, or the political situation at the time of the text's composition do the implications of the compounds in a text become fully clear.
