Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed scholarly study into the use of the grammatical cases with the prepositions on, in and to, from between 450-1000 AD in Old English. The author carefully analyses the various grammatical case values of these terms across a range of texts, including the Gospels, the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, poetry, sermons and religious texts. One of the central interests of the book is the apparent irregularity in the use of on and in with the accusative case after verbs of motion, which the author argues is in fact due to verbs being used with different senses and as such, their relationship with the case changes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
