Agents in early Welsh and early Irish
A new contribution to the study of medieval Welsh and Irish. It investigates the structure and use of passives and verbal noun constructions, and how the human agent is expressed in these constructions. The investigation is based on narratives, law texts, and annals, and is written for a readership from a wide range of backgrounds, such as linguistics, history, and philology.
