Abstract:

Drawing on vast amounts of new data from live, unscripted radio and TV
broadcasts, and the internet, this is a brilliant and original analysis of
colloquial English, revealing unusual and largely unreported types of clause
structure. Andrew Radford debunks the myth that colloquial English has a
substandard, simplified grammar, and shows that it has a coherent and complex
structure of its own. The book develops a theoretically sophisticated account
of structure and variation in colloquial English, advancing an area that has
been previously investigated from other perspectives, such as corpus
linguistics or conversational analysis, but never before in such detail from a
formal syntactic viewpoint.
