Description: Middle English Prepositions and Adverbs with the Prefix "be-" in Prose TextsA Study in Their Semantics, Dialectology and Frequency Author(s): Ewa Ciszek-Kiliszewska Format: Hardback Publisher: Peter Lang AG, Switzerland Imprint: Peter Lang AG ISBN-13: 9783631724811, 978-3631724811 Synopsis This book offers the first comprehensive study of Middle English prepositions and adverbs combining the prefix "be-" with a preposition, an adverb or a numeral recorded in prose texts. Six best established lexemes, [url] "before, beyond, behind, beneath, between" and "betwixt" are analysed. The investigated aspects include the semantics of the prepositions and adverbs, their dialectal and textual distribution as well as their frequency of use viewed both from a synchronic and diachronic perspective. The study draws on the linguistic data retrieved from a collection of specially selected complete prose texts from the "Innsbruck Corpus of Middle English Prose". The description of the obtained results is enhanced with numerous tables and figures.
