Présentation de l'éditeur
Historical syntax of the English as well as of other Teutonic languages and let us say, as well as the psychological side of Language on the whole have been, up to quite recent years, paid too little attention to, philological research being mainly engaged in other directions, such as Phonetics and Morphology. A striking instance is given by Paul s Grujidriss, a work which ought to sum up our knowledge of Germanic tongues and yet does not enter into the syntax of most of the languages dealt with. To return to English, it is remarkable that in the long series of publications issued by the Early English Text Society, there is perhaps only one in which the syntax of a text is seriously examined, viz. Prof. Kellner s Introduction to Caxton s Blanchardyn and Englantine, a study to which we have pleasure in immediately acknowledging our debt. It is true that we found a few standard-works for some authors who may be considered as landmarks in the development of the language.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a striking and thorough examination of the syntax, style, and word order in William Caxton's English translation of the Dutch text, Historie van Reinaert die Vos. A landmark in the development of English, Caxton's work is representative of a period of significant linguistic change where the language transitioned between Chaucer's Middle English and Shakespeare's Early Modern English. The author explores various syntactic structures, stylistic devices, and word order patterns employed by Caxton, providing insights into the evolution of the language and its distinctive characteristics during this pivotal era. Through detailed analysis and comparisons with earlier and later works, the book sheds light on Caxton's innovative use of language and his influence on the shaping of modern English syntax and style. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334369308_0
