An Analysis of Verbal and Constructional Meaning
The Early English Impersonal Construction aims to demonstrate that an        understanding of the functional and semantic aspects of impersonal verbs in Old and        Middle English can shed light on questions that remain about these verbs today. The        impersonal construction has been a topic of extensive research for over a hundred        years. But three quandaries-their seemingly unsystematic development, the gradual        loss of impersonal uses, and the difficulty of aligning this with structural changes        in early English-have made explanations for their development unsatisfactory.        Mohlig-Falke offers a detailed analysis of impersonal verbs within the framework of        cognitive and constructional grammar. She focuses on the loss of the impersonal        construction as a consequence of a redefinition of the grammatical categories of        subject and object, and describes the diachronic development of impersonal verbs as        a result of the complex interaction of verbal and constructional meaning. Her        research comprises all verbs which are recorded in impersonal use in Old and Middle        English, and takes account of their full range of syntactic uses. It is thus the        most comprehensive investigation of the impersonal construction in early English        available to date.
