Abstract:

Spanning the time from Old English to modern American English, this volume
provides fresh perspectives on core issues and theories in the morphosyntactic
history of English nominal, verbal and adverbial constructions. The
contributions discuss the loss, rise and restructuring of morphonological
marking, periphrastic verbal constructions, auxiliary variation and evolution,
as well as changing word order options. Favouring corpus-linguistic,
frequency-based and statistical approaches, the studies are firmly empirically
grounded. The book is aimed at scholars interested in the history of the
English language and in language variation and change.
