Troberg draws on cross-linguistic facts and offers a richly detailed qualitative and quantitative examination of the data to show that contrary to previous approaches to the problem, the shift was not random or a result of low-level analogical changes, but rather that it was decisively systematic and thus unified. - - An important outcome of the study links the shift in object expression to other changes in the grammar at the end of the Middle French period. The author argues that the loss of the syntactically derived ocDPathocy meaning, available to simple prepositions in the earlier stages of French, entails not only the shift in object expression, but also the loss of a number of resultative secondary predicates at the same time. - - 606 $aFrench language$xStudy and teaching 606 $aFrench language 606 $aLanguage and languages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrench language$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aFrench language. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 676 $a448.007 700 $aTroberg$b Michelle$0980808 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452505703321 996 $aChange of object expression in the history of French$92238225 997 $aUNINA
