AvJ. Rudanko
Inbunden, Engelska, 2011
574 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The book shows how the system of English predicate complementation has been undergoing an amazing amount of variation and change in recent centuries, and identifies explanatory principles to account for this change and variation, with evidence from large electronic corpora of both British and American English.
Diachronic Change in the English Passive
AvJ. Toyota
Inbunden, Engelska, 2008
574 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In this coherent historical development of the passive voice in English, the main argument deals not only with the passive per se, but also with its related constructions, which can play vital parts in identifying both functional and structural motivations for creating the passive.
Subjunctive in the Age of Prescriptivism
English and German Developments During the Eighteenth Century
AvA. Auer,Charles Jones
Inbunden, Engelska, 2008
574 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This monograph focuses on the description, use and development of the inflectional subjunctive in English and German in the eighteenth century. A close comparison between meta-linguistic comments (eighteenth-century grammars) and actual language usage (corpus study) allows the evaluation of the influence of prescriptivism on language change.

Language Contact and Lexical Enrichment in Israeli Hebrew
AvG. Zuckermann
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
1 142 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Israeli Hebrew is a spoken language, 'reinvented' over the last century. It has responded to the new social and technological demands of globalization with a vigorously developing multisourced lexicon, enriched by foreign language contact. In this detailed and rigorous study, the author provides a principled classification of neologisms, their semantic fields and the roles of source languages, along with a sociolinguistic study of the attitudes of 'purists' and ordinary native speakers in the tension between linguistic creativity and the preservation of a distinct language identity.
Consonant Change in English Worldwide
Synchrony Meets Diachrony
AvD. Schreier
Häftad, Engelska, 2005
1 142 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Applying insights from variationist linguistics to historical change mechanisms that have affected the consonantal system of English, Daniel Schreier reports findings from a historical corpus-based study on the reduction of particular consonant clusters and compares them with similar processes in synchronic varieties, thus defining consonantal change as a phenomenon involving psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, phonological theory and contact linguistics. Moreover, he weighs the impact of external and internal effects on causation, examining data from a total of 15 varieties with different time depths and social histories.
Variation and Morphosyntactic Change in Greek
From Clitics to Affixes
AvP. Pappas
Inbunden, Engelska, 2003
574 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The statistical analysis of the data, providing the first accurate description of the pattern of variation, is used in showing that existing accounts fall short of a full explanation.

Word Frequency and Lexical Diffusion
AvB. Phillips

1 368 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This study of word frequency effects on sound change provides a resolution of the Neogrammarian controversy. Betty S. Phillips discusses the implications for phonology and historical linguistics of certain types of change affecting the most frequent words first and other types of change affecting the least frequent words first.
