Cover minimally rubbed, as new copy - Summary: This book explores subjectless ing- and edsupplement constructions in the recent history of English from a corpus-based perspective.

Their presence (or absence) does not typically have syntactic, semantic or grammatical consequences for either the structure or the interpretation of the clause. Despite their peripheral status, supplements are prototypically linked to the main clause in different respects.
