This book is concerned with the position which relative clauses occupy with respect to the main clause in the history of English. Relative clauses have evolved from adjoined clauses placed outside the main clause to clauses closely attached to the noun they modify inside the main clause. This process of incorporation took place through a stage of topicalization in which relative clauses were dislocated to the left of the main clause, leaving a trace behind in the place where they are generated. This study is empirically founded, with data from The Helsinki Corpus of English Texts: Diachronic and Dialectal corresponding to late Old English and early Middle English. Several variables, of a linguistic and extralinguistic nature, are analyzed in order to describe the variation in the position of relative clauses in Early English.
Anglo-Saxon England embraces all the main aspects of study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the International Workshop on Clinical Image-based Procedures: From Planning to Intervention, CLIP 2012, held in Nice, France, in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2012. This successful workshop was a productive and exciting forum for the discussion and dissemination of clinically tested, state-of-the-art methods for image-based planning, monitoring and evaluation of medical procedures. The 16 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions.

The papers selected for this volume were first presented at the 14th International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (Bergamo, 2006). At that important event, alongside studies of phonology, lexis, semantics and dialectology (presented in two companion volumes in this series), many innovative contributions focused on syntax and morphology. A carefully peer-reviewed selection, including one of the plenary lectures, appears here in print for the first time, bearing witness to the quality of the scholarly interest in this field of research. In all the contributions, well-established methods combine with new theoretical approaches in an attempt to shed more light on phenomena that have hitherto remained unexplored, or have only just begun to be investigated. State-of-the-art tools, such as electronic corpora and concordancing software, are employed consistently, ensuring a methodological homogeneity of the contributions.
The book is dedicated to the linguistic, psycholinguistic, and ethnolinguistic dimensions of Italian as a heritage language spoken by minorities in the Americas and Europe. The contributions deepen our understanding of heritage language bilingualism in general, especially by comparing the acquisition of inflectional morphology in Italian with the processes at play in other heritage languages.
