This book brings together cutting-edge research on grammatical variation and change in English, showcasing the state of the art in contemporary corpus linguistics. The studies apply corpus-based and variationist methods to a wide range of grammatical categories (nominal, adjectival, verbal, adverbial, prepositional) across synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Its central aim is to demonstrate how empirical corpus evidence can enhance grammatical theory, especially within usage-based, cognitive, constructionalist frameworks. Of special interest is the volume's diversity of data sources, innovative methodologies and, in general, contemporary treatments of ongoing variation and change, with an emphasis on World Englishes. Continuing the tradition of the Studies in Corpus Linguistics series, this book advances beyond existing research by providing new case studies and insights addressed to researchers, higher-education instructors and advanced students of English linguistics with interests in corpus linguistics, grammar and variation.

This volume offers a selection of papers from the Eleventh International Conference on English Historical Linguistics held at the University of Santiago de Compostela. From the rich programme (over 130 papers were given during the conference), the present twelve papers were carefully selected to reflect the state of current research in the fields of English historical syntax and morphology. Some of the issues discussed are the emergence of viewpoint adverbials in English and German, changes in noun phrase structure from 1650 to the present, the development of the progressive in Scots, the passivization of composite predicates, the loss of V2 and its effects on the information structure of English, the acquisition of modal syntax and semantics by the English verb WANT, or the use of temporal adverbs as attributive adjectives in the Early Modern period. Many of the articles tackle questions of change through the use of methodological tools like computerized corpora. The theoretical frameworks adopted include, among others, grammaticalization theory, Dik’s model of functional grammar, construction grammar and Government & Binding Theory.
