Verbstellungswandel Bei Jugendlichen, Frauen Und Mannern Im 16. Jahrhundert (German, Hardcover, Reprint 2013 ed.)

This quantitative sociolinguistic study examines the complex linguistic and social factors governing variation and change in the position of an auxiliary and a non-finite verb form in dependent clauses in works from 16th-century Nuremberg. It traces developments through adolescence and early adulthood and examines the usage of parents, siblings and others in the family network as well as written models (instructional works, printed books, and business and administrative language).
