Product Description

A descriptive study of verbs used reflexively in Old and Early Middle English, this book looks at the two types of reflexive expressions observed in those earlier periods - the simple reflexive, i.e., verbs with a reflective pronoun, and the compound reflexive, i.e., verbs with a reflexive pronoun intensified by self. The development of reflexive constructions in Old English and Early Middle English is discussed in chapter 1, and there are examples taken from Old English verse, prose, glosses, and Early Middle English verse and prose in chapter 2 and 3 to show, as well as the variety, the prototypes of constructions which find their way into Modern English usage.
