Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Providing a detailed and comprehensive account of the development of phrasal
verbs from early modern to present-day English, this study covers almost 400
years in the history of English, and provides both a diachronic and synchronic
account based on over 12,000 examples extracted from stratified electronic
corpora. The corpus analysis provides evidence of how registers can inform us
about the history of English, as it traces and compares the usage and
stylistic drifts of phrasal verbs across ten different genres - drama,
fiction, journals, diaries, letters, medicine, news, science, sermons, and
trial proceedings. The study also sheds new light on the morpho-syntactic and
semantic features of phrasal verbs, proposing a new approach to the category,
considering not only on their grammatical features, but also their historical
development, by discussing the category in terms of a number of central
mechanisms of language change.
 



1. Introduction; 2. Corpus and methodology; 3. Delimiting the scope of the
study: what are phrasal verbs?; 4. The relationship between phrasal verbs and
the processes of grammaticalisation, lexicalisation, and idiomatisation; 5.
Phrasal verbs 1650–1990: Linguistic aspects; 6. Phrasal verbs 1650–1990:
cross-genre distribution; 7. Conclusion.
