Independent Wh-Exclamative Constructions in the History of English

"The empirical value of [this book] in the History of English cannot be denied. It showcases the author's success in providing the linguistic community with a new resource on English exclamative constructions and attention to detail in doing so. The reader will definitely appreciate the clear and thorough theoretical background on (Diachronic) CxG and the notion and measures of productivity...and the deep engagement with the existing literature." -- Joanna Nykiel, University of California, Davis, English Language and Linguistics
