Annotation:
	Examines Shakespeare's use phrase "the which" as opposed to "which," paying "particular attention not only to grammatical functions, but also to extralinguistic factors such as genre, date of composition, medium (verse/prose), and sociolinguistic backgrounds of the fictional characters (gender, social class, and age)." Ultimately finds little correlation between use of "the which" and genre or sociolinguistic factors, but does prove a connection between the phrase and the date of composition and medium. English summary, 153.
