The study describes the evolution of English participial and
gerundial constructions in Middle English and early modern English,
concentrating in the process on the function of text varieties in
language change. Building on a detailed analysis of all the
relevant constructions in six text varieties taken from a revised
version of the Helsinki Corpus, the author demonstrates that the
proliferation of the main construction types through text varieties
takes place in an ordered sequence. The function of text varieties
in language change is identified as that of a catalyst.
