Subject and Object in Modern English

<p><em>Subject and Object in Modern English</em> first published in 1979 deals with subjects in the English language (one of the two main constituents of a clause) first comparing two possible notions of derived subject and then re-examining some derived subjects which had been assumed to be underlying subjects as well. This title also concerns itself with the basic verb phrase relations; not only with direct and indirect objects but locative and directional phrases with-phrases and of-phrases considered. This book will be of interest to students of English language and linguistics. </p>
