We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

Hi all,
 
I am working on impersonal (subjectless) verbs and constructions in the history
of English (mainly from Old English to Middle English). Do you know any recent
publications on this topic, concerning not just English but also other Indo-
European languages? Please send me the information at the email address below.
I appreciate in advance.
