The Subjunctive in the Age of Prescriptivism: English and German Developments During the Eighteenth Century - Palgrave Studies in Language History and Language Change

This monograph focuses on the description, use and development of the inflectional subjunctive in English and German in the eighteenth century. A close comparison between meta-linguistic comments (eighteenth-century grammars) and actual language usage (corpus study) allows the evaluation of the influence of prescriptivism on language change.
