Description

Explore the complex linguistic history of medieval England with this scholarly work from Macmillan. Carrying Verbs Across the Channel examines the grammatical shifts occurring during the language contact between English and French from 1066 to 1500. This study investigates structural copying phenomena and their direct connection to the lexicon. By analyzing how the copying of lexical verbs with a predicate-argument structure accelerated broader grammatical changes, the authors propose a new academic framework. The text suggests that the traditional concept of borrowing should be replaced by the more accurate concept of copying. This book provides a fresh look at the relationship between Old French and Middle English, incorporating recent developments in the field of English historical linguistics.
