Notes on the Use of the Subjunctive in Late Middle English with special reference to the Later Version of the Wycliffite Bible

URATA Kazuyuki

This article examines the use of the subjunctive in Late Middle English, based on the Gospel

according to St. Matthew in the Later Version of the Wycliffite Bible (c. 1388), as part of the

present author’s diachronic study of the subjunctive in English. It describes both the present

and the past subjunctive, as used in independent as well as dependent clauses, paying particular

attention to its possible alternatives, such as the indicative and the modal auxiliaries (e.g. should,

would).

The findings are compared with those of the survery conduted previously by the same

author of the subjunctive in Early Modern English, based on Tyndale’s translation of the Gospel

according to St. Matthew (1526).

Among the differences in the use of the subjunctive between the two versions, i.e, Wycliffite

late ME and Tyndale’s early ModE translations, are:

(1) a greater variety of verbs other than be employed in the the subjunctive mood in

independent clauses in the Wycliffte version as against Tyndale’s.

(2) non-use of the indicative in ‘non-past’ conditional if-clauses in Tyndale’s Matthew, in

contrast to the almost equivalent frequencies of the subjunctive and the indicative in the

Wycliffte translation.

These variations might be due to linguistic changes between late ME and early ModE,

differeces in the style of translation, or any other reasons, which will merit further investigation.
