Title: Language Between Description and Prescription
Description: Based on 258 English grammar books, 'Language Between Description and Prescription' investigates nineteenth-century grammar writing relating to actual language change, especially in the verb phrase. Lieselotte Andewald proposes that not all changes were noticed in the first place, and those that were noticed were not necessarily criticized.
