الملخص الإنجليزي

This study focuses on one of the most important aspects of language change which is syntactic change .

This has been done by examining two literary works belonging to two different centuries .

The first one is a nineteenth century novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontȅ , and the second is a twentieth century novel Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis.

The study adopted a descriptive and analytical methodology , i.e, content analysis , of two texts to identify diachronic change in syntax between these two novels .

The researcher used selected dialogues by characters in the two novels as data (by randomization process ) to achieve the objectives of the study .

The findings obtained show that there are changes in some grammatical structures and word orders use .

Most of these changes are innovative , i.e, coming into use like for example , the expression has got which is used as semi modal , idioms and phrasal verbs , and the structure of the present perfect progressive .

All these changes as well as other ones occurred in Lucky Jim , but not in Jane Eyre .

Another kind of change resulted in some structures getting out of use which are used in Jane Eyre , but not or are reduced in Lucky Jim .

For example the use of the auxiliary verb is instead of have with an intransitive verb to express present perfect , and some constructions are used mostly in the sample of Jane Eyre , but are reduced so much in the sample of Lucky Jim like ( must +be+ v.

infinitive)
