Synopsis
This book analyzes early English texts to trace the historical development and use of a type of language commonly found over many centuries throughout many English-speaking communities. It focuses primarily on the use of linguistic forms that indicate a third person or thing is receiving the action described by the verb. The author provides a thorough overview of scholarship on the topic, discusses prior research, and builds on the existing body of work by incorporating new evidence and perspectives. The book includes detailed formal analyses of various types of these constructions, and concludes with a discussion of their significance in the history of English.
