The methodology also involves the use of corpus...

ISBN: 9783034311243 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explains how and why grammatical gender disappeared from English through a detailed analysis of unhistorical gender assignment within the noun phrase in Layamon s Brut, one of the most important Early Middle English texts. Such deviations do occur capriciously but not randomly, suggesting a development of innovative functions of the attributive forms concerned.
These innovations are mainly of two types: gender-insensitive uses as a case marker and a shift from a bipartite to tripartite system of defining words, the, that, and this. The author...
