„Prositional” and subject-predicate relation. A study in fourteenth century verse and prose

Abstract

The present paper was preceded by a more exhaustive study of word order patterns in Piers Plowman and Middle English Sermons where the author seems to have established a correlation between the position of subject and predicate and what may be called prepositional (i. e. any element, or elements, not belonging to the associative group of the subject).
