Using increasingly sophisticated databases, the contributions in this volume explore grammatical usage from the period, specifically morphological and syntactic change, in a broad context. Some chapters explore the socio-historical background of the period while others provide information on prescriptivism, newspaper language, language contact, and regional variation in British and American English. Internal processes of change are discussed against grammaticalisation theory and construction grammar and the rich body of textual evidence is used to draw inferences on the precise nature of historical change. Exposing readers to a wealth of data that informs the description of a broad range of syntactic phenomena, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers interested in historical linguistics, corpus linguistics and language development" 7aEnglish languagexSyntax.2BUEsh940636 7aEnglish languagexGrammar, Historical.2BUEsh  bHHUUEENNcSeptember2019  vReading book1 aHundt, Marianne,eeditor.  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc2NDd2019-09-09ePurchaseg690.00l0o425 LATp000048037r2025-07-15 00:00:00v862.50w2019-09-09yBB
