Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the preposition for in Early Modern English as it was used to express a range of concepts including consequence, hindrance, and opposition. The author traces the development of these meanings from their Anglo-Saxon origins, demonstrating how the preposition's local sense of "in front of" gradually expanded to encompass more abstract ideas. The book also explores the ways in which for has been used in conjunction with other words to form idiomatic expressions and phrases, such as "for all that" and "for fear of." Through a detailed analysis of literary and historical texts, the author sheds light on the evolution of for's various meanings and its enduring role in the English language.
