Generative Theory and Corpus Studies A Dialogue from 10 Icehl

This volume focuses on the present state of English historical linguistics as a unitary discipline. In particular, the selection of papers challenges the idea that the community of linguists working on the history of English stands united merely by subject matter, but divided by method and theoretical outlook. The volume emphasizes the way in which scholars in our community are lead to refine and further articulate their empirical proposals by challenges from different research paradigms. Thus, a running thematic thread of the volume is the dialogue between generative grammatical theory and corpus studies, including those in sociolinguistic tradition. The volume is divided in four main sections: syntax, phonology, text types, sociolinguistics and dialectology.Bermbudez-Otero, Ricardo is the author of 'Generative Theory and Corpus Studies A Dialogue from 10 Icehl' with ISBN 9783110166873 and ISBN 3110166879.
