Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents a diachronic corpus-based study of death-related intensifiers from a grammaticalisation perspective, offering a full account of the evolution of these forms from their origins up to present-day English. To this end, evidence from historical dictionaries, diachronic corpora and electronic collections is examined. |
