Participial prepositions and conjunctions such as considering, during, considered and except are a comparatively recent phenomenon in the history of the English language. They originated in the intense language contact situation between Anglo-French and Middle English in late medieval England. In this book, it is shown that the development is part of a long process of typological change both in the Romance languages and in the English language. Through language contact a productive pattern has been established in English, which still produces new participial prepositions today (e.g. following, based on and looking at). Participial prepositions and conjunctions therefore clearly illustrate the mechanisms and consequences of language change through intense language contact.

The poetry no longer retains its Elizabethan freshness and energy, but becomes intensely subjective and deeply self-conscious. Consequently, the lighter lyrics are superseded by the weightier ones, such as the ode and the elegy. This was the natural outcome of the current of English histary during this period. But this pendulum movement was reinforced by foreign influence.3' While the Elizabethans were stirred by French and Italian writers, the poets of the seventeenth century were greatly influenced by Latin authors. Especially was this the case with Jonson and his followers. But the spirit of classicism is the very antithesis of the spirit of the dramatic monologue. Classicism demands conformity and restraint, while the monologue demands elasticity and freedom. In so far as the classicists paid strict attention to form, they might have developed the form of the monologue, but since their attitude was not in harmony with the spirit of the monologue, they neyer employed it. With these facts before us, we may readily see that it is unreasonable to expect to find much, if any, devolopment of the...
This book presents corpus-based research on functional syntax. It is the first book to present a comprehensive investigation into grammatical metaphor in English clause combining in large-size corpora. By providing a systematic illustration of features such as parataxis, hypotaxis and embedding, it fills a gap in the systemic functional literature. It also offers insights into testing grammatical metaphors using a corpus linguistics methodology. The book is a useful resource for anyone interested in writing development.
