Excerpt from Historical Outlines of English Syntax
I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to several eminent English scholars for repeated advice and valuable suggestions. Of these, Dr. F urnivall has the greatest claim on my gratitude. It was he who suggested to me the idea of working into their present English shape the materials which he knew I had been collecting for years, and it is through his help and untiring kindness that I have been able to overcome the many difficulties which naturally stood in my way. The quotations in my book will show what it owes to the Early English Text Society, a Society which has at last made possible a real study of the history of English, a Society which has earned the right to ten times the support it gets from English-speaking folk.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive study of how English syntax has evolved over centuries, from its origins to modern-day forms. It challenges the idea that the English language was haphazardly cobbled-together from other tongues; rather, the author shows that its variations display clear patterns. The author masterfully combines psychological and historical elements with contemporary spoken language to demonstrate the evolution of English grammar. This comprehensive study will fascinate not only linguists and philologists but also scholars interested in literary history and language in general.
