Abstract:

Based on four historical corpora, the book is a comprehensive study of the
demise of five preterite-present verbs in English. It offers a detailed
description of their distribution in Old and Middle English. The subsequent
comparison of the forms and uses of the preterite-presents in the two periods
allows the author to suggest the reasons for their elimination from the
language. The discussion focuses on phonological and morphological changes the
verbs underwent as well as on the syntactic structures they appeared in. Yet,
the study does not ignore factors of extra-linguistic nature such as genres in
which the verbs were frequently found and the potential rivalry with other
items of native and foreign origin.
