Beginning with an overview of the main features of early English syntax, it gives a unified account of the grammatical changes occurring in the language during this period. Written by four leading experts in English historical syntax, the book demonstrates the ways in which syntactic change takes place and how these changes can be explained in terms of grammatical theory and language acquisition. The authors draw upon a wealth of empirical data and through a series of well-selected case studies they cover a wide range of topics including changes in word order, infinitival constructions and grammaticalization processes. This invaluable introduction to the significant changes in early English syntax will appeal to students and researchers in historical linguistics, theoretical linguistics and the history of English. 410 0$aCambridge syntax guides. 606 $aEnglish language$xSyntax 606 $aEnglish language$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xSyntax 606 $aEnglish language$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xSyntax 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Historical 615 0$aEnglish language$xSyntax. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSyntax. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSyntax. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Historical. 676 $a429/.5 701 $aFischer$b Olga$0164714 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828679403321 996 $aThe syntax of early English$94120599 997 $aUNINA
