Wh-Clauses in English: Aspects of Theory and Description.
Amsterdam/Atlanta, GA 2000. XIII,237 pp.
(Language and Computers 34)
ISBN: 90-420-1284-6 Hfl. 125,-/US-$ 53.-
This study provides the first description-oriented,
theoretically-unaligned account of wh-clauses in Modern English. The
author employs a data-based approach to examine aspects of both
generative and non-generative work as regards their relative strengths
and weaknesses. Wh-clauses in English: Aspects of Theory and
Description is a unique combination of statistical findings and
qualitative analysis. It is not only underpinned by a systematic
investigation of the Brown University corpus but also includes
attested material from other sources such as the British National
Corpus, the CobuildDirect corpus as well as material gleaned from the
internet. The qualitative and quantitative analyses are combined to
approach a wide range of theoretical and descriptive issues, such as
wh-movement, landing-sites for moved wh-XPs, vacuous movement, island
constraints, among others. Not insignificantly, many questions of
indeterminacy are addressed, such as the interface of conjunctions and
relative words, the problems of demarcation between interrogatives and
free relatives as well as structural ambiguities between
interrogatives and exclamatives.

Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory.
Papers from the Twentieth International Conference on English Language

Edited by Christian Mair and Marianne Hundt.

>>From being the occupation of a marginal (and frequently marginalised)
group of researchers, the linguistic analysis of machine-readable
language corpora has moved to the mainstream of research on the
English language. In this process an impressive body of results has
accumulated which, over and above the intrinsic descriptive interest
it holds for students of the English language, forces a major and
systematic re-thinking of foundational issues in linguistic
theory. "Corpus linguistics and linguistic theory" was accordingly
chosen as the motto for the twentieth annual gathering of ICAME, the
International Computer Archive of Modern/ Medieval English, which was
hosted by the University of Freiburg (Germany) in 1999. The present
volume, which presents selected papers from this conference, thus
builds on previous successful work in the computer-aided description
of English and at the same time represents an attempt at stock-taking
and methodological reflection in a linguistic subdiscipline that has
clearly come of age.
Contributions cover all levels of linguistic description - from
phonology/ prosody, through grammar and semantics to
discourse-analytical issues such as genre or gender-specific
linguistic usage. They are united by a desire to further the dialogue
between the corpus-linguistic community and researchers working in
other traditions. Thereby, the atmosphere ranges from undisguised
skepticism (as expressed by Noam Chomsky in an interview which is part
of the opening contribution by Bas Aarts) to empirically substantiated
optimism (as, for example, in Bernadette Vine's significantly titled
contribution "Getting things done").
