This book offers the first book-length treatment of the diachronic study of English exclamatives, tracing their development from 1500 through to the twenty-first century.

The volume shines a light on independent wh-exclamatives in the history of English. In particular, Schröder calls attention to the development of three prototypical wh-exclamatives as observed in three newly created genre-balance corpora comprising prose fiction, dialogues, and personal correspondence, uncovering new insights into the differences in their evolution. In its analysis of English exclamatives over time and broader exploration of the impact of genre on constructional productivity, the book raises key questions about existing claims in scholarship on Diachronic Construction Grammar and outlines ways forward for new areas of inquiry.

This volume will appeal to scholars interested in diachronic linguistics, historical syntax, language variation and change, and the history of English.

Arvustused

"The empirical value of [ this book] in the History of English cannot be denied. It showcases the authors success in providing the linguistic community with a new resource on English exclamative constructions and attention to detail in doing so. The reader will definitely appreciate the clear and thorough theoretical background on (Diachronic) CxG and the notion and measures of productivityand the deep engagement with the existing literature." -- Joanna Nykiel, University of California, Davis, English Language and Linguistics
