Abstract:

Using novel examples from live, unscripted radio/TV broadcasts and the
internet, this path-breaking book will force us to reconsider the nature of
everyday English and its complex interplay of syntactic, pragmatic,
sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic factors. Uncovering unusual types of
non-standard relative clauses, Andrew Radford develops theoretically
sophisticated analyses in an area that has traditionally hardly been touched
on: that of nonstandard (yet not clearly dialectal) variation in English.
Making sense of a huge amount of data, the book demonstrates that some types
of non-standard relative clauses have a complex syntactic structure of their
own in which the relation between the relative clause and its antecedent is
either syntactically encoded or pragmatic in nature, while others come about
as a result of hypercorrection, and yet others arise from processing errors.
