Abstract:

The contributions to this volume apply and extend the techniques of corpus
linguistics and diachronic linguistics to the challenge of describing and
explaining grammatical change in varieties of English world-wide. The book is
divided into two parts, with ten chapters on ‘Inner Circle’ varieties such as
Australian, Canadian, and Irish English, and eight on ‘Outer Circle’ varieties
such as Philippine, Indian, and Nigerian English. Contributors examine a range
of topics including the progressive aspect, modal auxiliaries, do-support,
verb morphology, and quotatives, using a wide variety of corpus resources.
Overarching research questions addressed include the following: Do diachronic
tendencies observed in a particular variety converge with, diverge from, or
run in parallel with, those in the parent variety? What are the possible
causes of changes observed (e.g. English teaching traditions, Americanisation,
internal changes in registers)? This book will appeal to linguists,
particularly those interested in grammatical description, corpus linguistics
and World Englishes.
