Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive survey of how the Old English genitive case was used between the 7th and 11th centuries. It thoroughly analyzes its various functions and shifts in meaning over time, positioning them within the broader context of Indo -European and Germanic languages to present a solid overview of the development of the genitive case. The author delves into the different values and relationships expressed by the genitive, including possession, origin, material, measure, and many others, examining how these concepts are conveyed through the genitive case in Old English. Through meticulous examination of both prose and poetry, the book explores the influence of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics on the use of the genitive, shedding light on the evolution of grammatical structures and the interplay between language and thought in Anglo -Saxon England. This in -depth study offers valuable insights for scholars and students of linguistics, philology, and Old English literature, providing a deeper understanding of the complexities of the Anglo -Saxon language and its literary landscape. 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.…
