Abstract:
Despite its exceptional frequency and versatility, GET has never been a focus
of research in its entire variability, which goes from lexical to grammatical
uses, nor in large amounts of data from different varieties of English. The
present corpus-based study deals with over 11,600 tokens of GET in written and
spoken language from three varieties of English and thus provides new insights
for variationist linguistics. Firstly, it offers a comprehensive
semasiological-syntactic analysis of GET, i.e. an analysis of all its meanings
and all the constructions into which it enters, suggesting ten categories as
being necessary for its complete description. Secondly, it contributes to the
understanding of factors that are at work in variation in World Englishes and
lead to quantitative differences between regional standard varieties. Thus,
the present study demonstrates that the use of GET in the New Englishes
analysed is less affected by substrate effects than by the effects of Second
Language Acquisition and the varying influence of British and American English
norms. Moreover, it can be shown that the New Englishes display more
grammatical uses of GET than does British English.
