Conclusions. 330 $a"Rather than fight on horseback in the traditional manner of cavalry, the regular Mounted Infantry would use horses primarily to move swiftly about the battlefield, where they would then dismount and fight on foot, thus appearing to anticipate the development of mechanised infantry tactics during the twentieth century. Yet despite being one the most important innovations of the late Victorian and Edwardian British Army, the mounted infantry concept was abandoned by the British Army in 1913, just at the point when it may have made the transition from a colonial to a continental force. Exploring the historical background to the Mounted Infantry, this book untangles the debates that raged between its advocates and the supporters of the established cavalry."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in modern British history ;$v11. 606 $aInfantry drill and tactics$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aInfantry drill and tactics$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSouth African War, 1899-1902 615 0$aInfantry drill and tactics$xHistory 615 0$aInfantry drill and tactics$xHistory 615 0$aSouth African War, 1899-1902. 676 $a356/.1094109034 700 $aWinrow$b Andrew.$0870976 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149371803321 996 $aThe British Army Regular Mounted Infantry 1880-1913$91944298 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03533nam 2200661 a 450 001 9910139645403321 005 20250218224757.0 010 $a9786613174956 010 $a9781283174954 010 $a1283174952 010 $a9789027287168 010 $a9027287163 035 $a(CKB)2550000000040337 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000523373 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12212618 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000523373 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10539996 035 $a(PQKB)10113909 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC730302 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL730302 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10481805 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL317495 035 $a(OCoLC)741492695 035 $a(DE-B1597)721051 035 $a(DE-B1597)9789027287168 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000040337 100 $a20110106d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aImpersonal constructions $ea cross-linguistic perspective /$fedited by Andrej Malchukov, Anna Siewierska 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAmsterdam ;$aPhiladelphia $cJohn Benjamins Pub.

Cross-linguistic variation in impersonal constructions : case studies. 330 $aIn the four Pama-Nyungan languages Umpithamu, Morrobolam, Mbarrumbathama and Rimanggudinhma there is a core set of impersonals centred around experiencer object constructions. They describe involuntary physical processes, and are formally characterized by lack of nominative pronominal cross-reference, and optional absence of ergative agent nominals. In addition, systematic lack of nominative cross-reference is found in constructions with inanimate agents in all four languages, and in experienced action constructions in Umpithamu, in both cases with ergatively-marked nominals. It is argued that nominative cross-reference is the basic criterion for subject status, with ergative marking merely indicating agent status. Given the lack of any specific valency-changing morphology, impersonals with ergatively-marked nominals are functional equivalents of a voice mechanism, with agents demoted from subject status. This process has developed furthest in Umpithamu where the experienced action construction is systematically available as an alternative construal for a subset of transitive clauses.
