Lots of Old Norse words have flowed into English through the contact between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings which took place about 1,200 years ago, and through the situation in which the two peoples lived side by in northern and eastern England. As the (loan) words that seem to have been imposed via the source language agentivity, we have get, give, and take, which form very central items in the English vocabulary. Also the Vikings' influence is thought to be crucial to the introduction of new types of phrasal verbs into English. Some of these new phrasal verbs, however, co-existed with their older semantically equivalent counterparts: prefixed verbs. It is a rather strange phenomenon, because the latter had not so strongly been needed at that time owing to the change of word order in English. One of the possible explanations for it might be the metrical exigency when making rhymes for poems, just as we employ did make instead of made so that it can make a rhyme with ache. And the language shift to English on the Vikings' side as the final output after the contact between the two peoples was completed by way of Vikings' learning English in the environment of a bilingual society made up of monolingual speakers of different languages.
