520 _aTraces the development of subjunctive use across the Old English, Middle English, and Early Modern English periodsUses descriptive data from parallel corpora of three historical periodsEmploys both synchronic and diachronic analyses to evaluate quantitative and qualitative data Illustrates results using authentic examples, accompanied by modern English translationsIncludes new insights into the fields of historical English linguistics and corpus linguisticsLocating the subjunctive at the interface of mood and modality, this book presents a systematic description of the use of the English subjunctive in main clauses, noun clauses, relative clauses, and adverbial clauses. It explores the factors which governed its competition with other verbal expressions in texts ranging from the 9th to the beginning of the 18th century. Employing close reading alongside analysis of corpus data and the use of descriptive statistics, it offers new insights into the research landscape of English subjunctive use and into the fields of historical English linguistics and corpus linguistics.
