Abstrakt

This paper is essentially a state-of-the-art overview of the three most current and
influential publications on the history of English reflexives, selected for their contrasting
methodologies, i.e. Elly van Gelderen’s [2000], Edward L. Keenan’s [2002], Ekkehad
König and Peter Siemund’s [2000]. A broad view of some well established insights into
the historical development of self allows us to detail some factors that are significant in its
distribution patterns. In the analytical section we relate these factors to the occurrences of
self in Manuscript A of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
