Syntactic Dislocation in English Congregational Song between 1500 and 1900: A Corpus-based Study

By Kirsten Gather

This study analyses syntactic dislocation in congregational song between 1500 and 1900. Two distinct dislocation patterns, which combine poetic factors and syntactic criteria, allow for a comparison to other genres. Indeed, syntactic dislocation makes congregational song a conservative genre both compared to religious prose and to secular poetry.
