{"product_id":"the-development-from-case-forms-to-maurizio-gotti-9783039117635","title":"The Development from Case-Forms to Prepositional Constructions in Old English Prose","description":"The development from a synthetic to an analytic language is one of the most important topics in English historical syntax. This development is reflected in the gradual decrease of case-forms and the replacement of their functions with equivalent prepositional constructions. Focussing on the Old English period, when case-forms and prepositional constructions overlapped in various functions, this book aims to answer an unresolved question: was there a significant change in the use of case-forms and, alternatively, in the use of prepositions plus case-forms in contexts where both types were possible? The author makes a statistical comparison between prose texts written in the early Old English period and texts of the later Old English period; she also takes into account stylistic features of individual texts. Thus, this book addresses this Old English syntactic issue both from a historical and a stylistic perspective and shows the stages of development during the Old English period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurizio Gotti,Kiriko Sato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039117637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039117635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Maurizio Gotti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742745112831,"sku":"9783039117635","price":102.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-development-from-case-forms-to-maurizio-gotti-9783039117635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
