Dative External Possessors in Early English - Oxford Studies in Diachronic and Historical Linguistics
Allen, Cynthia L. (Fellow Emerita, Fellow Emerita, School of Literature, Languages, and Linguistics, Australian National University)
This volume is the first systematic, corpus-based examination of the development of dative external possessors in Old and Early Middle English. It draws on empirical data and recent developments in linguistic theory to evaluate language-internal and language contact-based explanations for the loss of these constructions in Middle English.
