Aimed at advanced students, this book discusses a number of approaches to charting the major developments in the syntax of English. It discusses internal factors such as the loss of morphology and pressure from analogy. It also covers external factors such as the sociolinguistic impact of language and dialect contact.
Focusing on the analysis of complex words, this book explores their nature as constructions that link forms and meanings. It delves into the architecture of grammar, the interplay between morphology and syntax, and the features of the lexicon. Additionally, it addresses the process of grammaticalization, making it a significant contribution to the fields of morphology and linguistic theory as a whole.
This book explains how particle verbs fit into the grammatical systems of English and Dutch.
