A common feature of chat protocols, originally probably from IRC, is the /ME command which results in ambient lines such as "Jorgen runs away." This has even been transformed to other contexts, where "me does XYZ" is being used, even though this is usually seen as completely ungrammatical. I have seen various other forms as well, such as "me likes". The article below has a beautiful treatise on a number of interesting features in the passage "The Lady doth protest too much, me thinks" from Hamlet. Most notably, the "me thinks" phrase there is exactly of the form noted above. Says the article: "The source of this common Middle English expression is the so-called 'dative subject' construction, which is common to many languages and was widely used in Old English. In this construction a noun phrase in the dative case functions in a subject-like way in place of the usual nominative case subject. The construction is commonest with a class of verbs called experiencer verbs, a class to which verbs with the meaning of Modern English to seem tend to belong. In our line, the verbal part of the expression looks like the modern verb to think but it actually descends from the verb þyncan, which meant 'to seem' in Old English and got confused at some point with the similar sounding þencan, 'to think.' English is famous for losing the dative experiencer construction in Middle English, some time after the dative case collapsed with the accusative." IRC might be older than is usually claimed, me thinks. Language Log » Protesting too much previous post | next post ».
