Transitivity Alternations

The Middle Alternation

The middle alternation involves a change in a verb's transitivity. Transitive verbs with an agent subject and a patient object can have an intransitive pattern. The subject of this intransitive pattern takes on the role of the object in the transitive use, followed by an adverbial or prepositional phrase.

Example:

• Transitive: The carpenter sawed the wood.
• Intransitive: The wood saws easily.

Verbs allowing the middle alternation express a change of state in the object. The middle construction emphasizes the subject being affected by the action (affectedness constraint). Verbs like pat or touch, where the object isn't affected, don't allow this construction.

Example:

• They hit the ball.
• *The ball hits easily.

Economic Challenges and Financial Instability

Spain's economy suffered due to constant warfare across Europe, which drained national resources. As the influx of gold and silver from the Americas began to decline, the Crown relied heavily on these precious metals to finance military campaigns. Consequently, the monarchy turned to European bankers for loans, eventually leading to repeated state bankruptcies.

The feudal structure remained largely unproductive, with wealth concentrated in land ownership held by the privileged classes—the nobility and the clergy—who lived primarily off rents. This system...

Joseph Addison (1672–1719) from The Spectator, N 69 (Published in 1711)

The Royal Exchange

In the periodical The Spectator No. 69, Joseph Addison creates a persona that reveals a new, diverse society of merchants who established the Royal Exchange. These merchants rivaled the powers of Parliament and past Monarchies over the British domains.

The Royal Exchange, located in the heart of the City (London's financial district), was not only a hub for business but also a center for eighteenth-century essays, poetry, letters, and opinions, originally edited by Addison and Steele.

It stands as a symbol of globalisation, highlighting the “increasing importance of the international commerce to the British economy.” Addison believed the world seemed...
