Synopsis

After careful examination of previous inves tigation on the subject, it is evident that not enough has been said. Information is very in adequate, especially in regard to the origin of the constructions. With the idea of clearing up the obscurity, I have made my investigations.

The Use of the Infinitive, Instead of a Finite Verb in French (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book probes the phenomenon of an infinitive used imperatively in the French language rather than the more traditional finite verb form. This grammatical construction, used most frequently in negative statements in Old French, is predominantly found in the Old French period, though it is not unheard of in Modern French, typically within general directions, medical prescriptions, or cross-references. The author's research suggests that this infinitive construction is the result of an ellipsis of some form of the verb vouloir, falloir, or devoir, later being adopted in its pure infinitive form in Modern French. Of particular interest to scholars of Medieval French, or those interested in general historical linguistics, this book provides a thorough overview of the subject, delving into the etymology and evolution of this unique construction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332072224_0
