    The loss of case marking distinctions between Old and Middle English had profound consequences for the syntax of the language. This text makes a careful examination of the primary evidence for how the loss of case distinctions proceeded.

  • Product Description

    English underwent sweeping changes to its inflectional system in the Middle English period and it is widely assumed that the loss of case-marking distinctions had profound consequences for the syntax of the language. Allen here makes a detailed study of these changes, questioning the results of previous analyses which, she argues, posit too direct a link between the morphological and syntactic changes.
