A "Two-Way Relationship in English" Revisited: On Reciprocal Expressions in Early English, With a Digression Into Modern English Uses (Linguistics) de Studia Anglica Posnaniensia: international review of English Studies Resumen del Libro

ABSTRACT The present study aims at providing a survey of the earliest English developments of reciprocal expressions, from the Old English discontinuous expressions, in which the elements are separated from each other by other sentence elements, to the present-day tight units like each other or one another. The data have been retrieved from several computerized text corpora. It comes out clearly that the reciprocal pronouns consist of two separate elements and their syntactic behaviour is regulated by such factors as the existence or non-existence of prepositions or other adverbial elements, word-order, function in the sentence and metre. The early expressions for reciprocity do not seem to share all the characteristics of the Modern English pronouns, nor are the same shade distinctions to be seen in Old and Middle English. The process of change in the uses and structuring of reciprocal expressions tan be seen as a grammaticalization process from units consisting of word sequencies to compound pronouns proper. The English reciprocals also illustrate a rare development in that it does not follow the general trends of language economy.
