Cho. Nahmho. 2003. The Origin of Periphrastic DO. English Language and Linguistics 16. 161-188. The origin of NE (Modern English) periphrastic DO has been discussed by many linguists for a long time, but there is a great cleavage of views. The reason is that each argument seems to have big unsolved problems. The OE (Old English) verb DON had three uses. It was used as a full lexical verb, from which the pro-verb usage developed, i.e. anticipative DO and anaphoric DO. It could also be used as a causative verb from OE. Most linguists argue that periphrastic DO developed out of one of these three uses of DON. In this paper the origin of periphrastic DO is discussed in terms of the three uses.
