It provides vast numbers of examples from Old and Middle English texts showing a person split between first, second, and third person pronouns. Extending an analysis by Reinhart & Reuland, the author argues that the 'strength' of certain pronominal features (Case, person, number) differs cross-linguistically and that parametric variation accounts for the changes in English. The framework used is Minimalist, and Interpretable and Uninterpretable features are seen as the key to explaining the change from a synthetic to an analytic language. 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 39. 606 $aEnglish language$xPronoun 606 $aEnglish language$xReflexives 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Historical 615 0$aEnglish language$xPronoun. 615 0$aEnglish language$xReflexives. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Historical. 676 $a425 700 $aGelderen$b Elly van$0168043 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815483403321 996 $aA history of English reflexive pronouns$93948758 997 $aUNINA
