Ephemerality in adverbial subordinators: A corpus-based study of causal, conditional and concessive conjunctions in Middle and Modern English

This doctoral dissertation explores, from a corpus-based perspective, the history of ephemeral subordinators from the domains of causal, conditional and concessive adverbial relations in Middle and Modern English. Kortmann (1997: 301) denominates ‘ephemeral subordinators’ those that were added to th...
