Description
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.
