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