No dust jacket. -- This collection investigates the grammatical divergences between British and American English. While differences in vocabulary and pronunciation are widely recognised, the text challenges the assumption that the two national varieties share an identical grammatical system. Using large-scale electronic databases, such as the British National Corpus, the contributors provide empirical evidence on specific syntactic variations. Chapters focus on distinct structural differences, including determiners, tense and aspect usage, modal verbs like 'shall' versus 'will', adverb placement, and relative clauses. The research highlights diverging trends, accurately mapping how American English frequently leads in progressive forms while simultaneously preserving older features like the bare mandative subjunctive. Tracing these morphological and syntactic shifts back to the seventeenth century, the text examines historical mechanisms such as the colonial lag hypothesis. The empirical data demonstrates that neither variety is strictly more conservative or innovative than the other, as both are driven by contact influences, frequency effects, and stylistic factors. The book provides quantified historical and contemporary data for researchers studying transatlantic language variation within corpus linguistics, historical linguistics, and dialectology.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It is well known that British and American English differ substantially in their pronunciation and vocabulary - but differences in their grammar have largely been underestimated. This volume focuses on British-American differences in the structure of words and sentences and supports them with computer-aided studies of large text collections. Present-day as well as earlier forms of the two varieties are included in the analyses. This makes it the first book-length treatment of British and American English grammar in contrast, with topics ranging from compound verbs to word order differences and tag questions. The authors explore some of the better-known contrasts, as well as a great variety of innovative themes that have so far received little or no consideration. Bringing together the work of a team of leading scholars in the field, this book will be of interest to those working within the fields of English historical linguistics, language variation and change, and dialectology.…
