A British Academy Monograph

The British Academy has a scheme for the selective publication of monographs arising from its British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships, British Academy Newton International Fellowships and British Academy / Wolfson Fellowships. Its purpose is to assist individual scholars by providing a prestigious publishing opportunity to showcase works of excellence.

Nelson Goering is an FWO senior postdoctoral research fellow at Ghent University. He has a DPhil from the University of Oxford, and has held a British Academy-funded Postdoctoral Fellowship on Norse Influence on Middle English Prosody. He has published widely on Germanic foot structure, metrics, and the relationship between philological data and linguistic analysis. His current research project is Little Words in Early Germanic, which combines evidence from metrics, orthography, and sound change to better understand the synchronic and diachronic dimensions of phonological clitic developments in the early Germanic languages.
