Grammatical Gender in English e-bog

First published in 1988, this book explores the grammatical loss of gender in English. It demonstrates that from the end of the Old English period, there was a considerable time period, of about three hundred years, during which there existed "e;echoes"e; of the gender classification of nouns. The study records the best known conclusions concerning the behaviour of anaphoric pronouns under grammatical gender "e;stress"e; in the late Old English and Middle English periods. It focuses on a discussion of attributive word morphology in the noun phrase.
