| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines diachronic changes in the form-meaning mapping of English pronoun case forms. I propose that the increasing influence of surface position on pronoun case is a by-product of a shift in the licensing of arguments during the Middle English period, and I argue that the direction of the observed changes follows the predictions of the Blocking Principle. | en |
