(Topics in English Linguistics 42)
This monograph is an empirical study of a particular type of
grammatical variation, i.e. the genitive variation in English
(s-genitive vs. of-genitive). Comparing the results of a Modern
English experimental study and historical evidence for the development
of the genitive variation, the main empirical finding of this study is
that the s-genitive has become more productive again from late Middle
to Present-day English. Theoretically, an approach to grammatical
variation is proposed which places the choice of genitive construction
into the mind of individual language users and, in so doing, tries to
account for the observed change.
