This article offers an overview of zero derivation in Old English, a description of the vocalic \nalternations that hold between zero derived nouns, adjectives and weak verbs and their \nbases of derivation as well as an account of the significance of alternations in the wider \ncontext of the evolution of the lexicon of English. Alternations are quantified and related to \ni-mutation and word-formation processes by distinguishing direct from reverse alternations \nand alternations with a strong verb source from alternations with a weak verb target. The \nconclusions reflect the synchronic-diachronic character of alternations. On the synchronic \naxis, alternations represent a relatively generalised phenomenon that affects all classes \nof both strong and weak verbs, while, on the diachronic axis, they allow us to assess the \nprogress of the change from variable to invariable base morphology
