The Use of Ye, in the Function of Thou (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the subtleties of how English evolved during the 14th century, when the plural form of address, often used as a sign of respect, intertwined with the more familiar singular form to create linguistic shifts that endure in our language even today. The author examines the ways in which societal hierarchy influenced language, particularly in how characters of different ranks addressed royalty and each other. The book shows that this era's literature is rich in examples of the transition from singular to plural pronouns, offering valuable insights into the social and linguistic norms of the time. The complex relationship between language and social standing is illuminated, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the development of the English language and the interplay between language, power, and respect. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781331930945_0
