Shin, Sungkyun. (2023). The use of periphrastic do with reference to the Book of Common Prayer. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(4), 181-195. Chomskys Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995 to 2019a,b,c) claims that language change can be explained as resulting from the resetting of parameters, where the parameters are seen as operating in the lexicon as feature parameters. Likewise, the origin of and changes in English periphrastic do or the do-support can be accounted for by parameter-resetting modulated by markedness. The dates of the two principal editions of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), 1552 and 1662, roughly coincide with the periods of the rise and fall of the affirmative declarative do, respectively. It is claimed that, based on the data of BCP and others, the English parameter-resetting concerning the periphrastic do began, in the mid-16th century, from strong V feature Tense to weak V feature Tense. |
