Book Synopsis Dative External Possessors in Early English by : Cynthia L. Allen
Book excerpt: This volume is the first systematic, corpus-based examination of the development of dative external possessors in Old and Early Middle English. It draws on empirical data and recent developments in linguistic theory to evaluate language-internal and language contact-based explanations for the loss of these constructions in Middle English.
