The Laws reflect the earlier word order preserved in Geramnic alliterative verse whereby unstressed light elements called by Kuhn `satzparkeln', such as pronouns, short adverbs, and light finite verbs tend to cluster in clause-initial position.Part I (Volume 95) discussed cliticization phenomena in early Germanic as background, examined Kuhn's definition of satzpartikel, and contained part of the discussions on Kuhn's First Law. Part II (Volume 96) began with the rest of the discussions on the First Law, examined the Second Law, and ended with part of the discussions on the distinction between clause and phrase particles. It argued that Kuhn's Laws are not to be treated as metrical conventions as are usually done, that the Second Law reflects archaism in an indirect way, and that there are ambivalence and ambiguity surrounding the distinction between two kinds of Kuhn's particles due to freedom in word order. Part III (this volume) continues with the rest of Section 6 on this distinction and also contains Section 7 on metrical analyses of clause-initial verses that may either be one-lift or two-lift verses. It will be shown that, while both of these two issues affect application of the Laws, their use as a device to reduce Kuhn's Law violations is questionable.Part III ends with Conclusions in Section 8 and a list of references.}, pages = {1--11}, title = {Towards a linguistic interpretation of Kuhn's Laws : With special reference to Old English Beowulf (Part III)}, volume = {97}, year = {2013}, yomi = {スズキ, ヤスコ} }
