(10) 11:12 - New prepositions? Well, yeah, actually, that also happens. There's good evidence to suggest that "because" now has prepositional sense in
English.
I believe this to be true because reasons. I could *swear* I read about this in one of
Anne Curzan's
Lingua Franca posts (http://chronicle.com/blogs/linguafranca/2013/04/24/slash-not-just-a-punctuation-mark-anymore/) or maybe on
Language Log (http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1260), but I can't find it anymore. Le sigh.
(11) 12:09 - Agentive progressive.
Note that "agentive possessive" for verb forms like a-huntin' is not an accepted term. I made it up while I was making this video.
It's usually called "a-prefixing" and analyzed as a prefix (a-) on a verb that ends in -ing. But, for my money, if a prefix has a required suffix, that's a circumfix.
Feel free to debate in the comments!
(12) 12:20 - The word "children" actually has two archaic plurals: -r, the original plural form (1 child, 2 childr) and -en, the current plural (except in cases where it's not and you have one child, but "all the childrens").
Language changes; in this case, the -r plural --because it was uncommon and unproductive-- got reanalyzed as something other than a plural marker. Here's a link about it:
