We will start by presenting the verbs commit and brace which are used simply to exemplify the kind of striking contrast that may have evolved between the two varieties in the twentieth century. The second set of predicates disport get in to trouble pledge organize has been chosen to illustrate four further constraints on the use or suppression of the reflexive pronoun. Drawing on pertinent changes in recent dictionary entries as well as informal surveys Shapiro 1999 notes that over the last few decades the verb commit pledge bind oneself has largely given up its earlier obligatorily reflexive use in AmE. These observations are confirmed by the large-scale analyses displayed in Table 8.8. At the same time the evidence in this table shows that this change has barely affected BrE. Moreover the comparison undertaken in Table 8.9 between four earlier and four later years of the Los Angeles Times suggests that the erosion of the reflexive pronoun is continuing at a striking rate in AmE. In the case of brace o.s. and discounting the particle verb brace o.s. up neither BrE nor AmE made regular use of the zero variant in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries either see Table 8.10 .
