New Zealand English Grammar, Fact Or Fiction?
Author: Marianne Hundt
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027248818
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
New Zealand English (NZE) is one of the younger post-colonial varieties of English. It is therefore not surprising that previous research focused on lexical and phonological aspects of NZE and practically neglected grammatical peculiarities. New Zealand English Grammar Fact or Fiction? presents a careful comparative analysis of parallel corpora of New Zealand, British, American and Australian English in order to single out morphological, syntactic and lexico-grammatical features typical of an emerging New Zealand standard. In addition to corpus data on regional variation, the author uses data on short-term diachronic change within British and American English to show how regional variation is closely related to both stylistic variation (a world-wide colloquialisation of the written norms of English) and ongoing linguistic change leading to temporal regional differences. NZE is different from other national varieties of English in terms of preferences for certain variants rather than categorically different grammatical rules. Nevertheless, it is a standard in its own right in so far as it is a typical mix of variants available in World English. The methodological approach combines both qualitative analyses and statistical evidence. The question in how far statistically significant differences in word frequencies can be shown to be linguistically significant is also relevant for other quantitative research into emerging national standards.

The Whole World in a Book

Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
The 19th century saw a new wave of dictionaries, many of which remain household names. Those dictionaries didn't just store words; they represented imperial ambitions, nationalist passions, religious fervor, and utopian imaginings. This volume shows how 19th-century lexicography continues to influence how we speak, write, and think in the 21st century.

Speaking for Howells
Author: Gregory J. Stratman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Language and literature scholar Stratman (U. of Missouri-Rolla and Drury U.) examines William Dean Howell's (1837-1920) interest in language, particularly literary language, and explores how his use of language reveals the evolution of his career. He draws on his use of literary dialect in several works to argue that his career moved from romanticism to realism and back to romanticism. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
