Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides insight into the indirect statements of thought, knowledge, perception, and belief in Anglo-Saxon. The author explores the use of various introductory verbs, their governing moods, and the use of auxiliary verbs with these moods. By investigating the subjunctive, indicative, and periphrastic constructions, the author establishes correlations between the various expressions and the expression of concepts like negation and interrogation. The author also includes a detailed discussion of the omission of the conjunction past in paratactic constructions. This book will prove an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Anglo-Saxon and is an essential work for anyone interested in the historical development of indirect discourse. It is the first book-length treatment of a topic of major importance to the study of the language.
