The Semantic Predecessors Of Need In The History Of English (C.750-1710)

In the history of English at least five verbs have been found to mean 'need': turfan, beturfan, need, behove and mister. By adopting a corpus-based approach, this book studies them diachronically, from the origins of the language (c 750) to the end of the early Modern English period (1710). It offers an analysis of the meaning of these five verbs.
