In this chapter we have assumed in Table 3.2 that ON was the superstrate and OE, the substrate in the Danelaw area. However, an earlier comment in §3.3 suggests something different: "ON may initially have been the superstrate, but later, even in Danelaw times, the substrate." Assuming a situation of creolization between ON and OE which language would be the superstrate and which the substrate language? Justify your conclusion.
