The data selected is a set of six non-surviving English preterite-present verbs. The analysis of the material shows that mediaeval manuscripts often exhibit orthographic and morphological variation as well as differ in lexemes. Such differences prove to be useful for the search of factors leading to the elimination of the verbs in question.}, type={Article}, title={The value of the sources surviving in more than one version for studies on obsolete words: the case of non-surviving preterite-presents in English}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/113408/PDF/KN%203-19%205%20WOJTYS.pdf}, doi={10.24425/kn.2019.129910}, keywords={demise, obsolescence, manuscripts, mediaeval, preterite-present}, }
