商品簡介
The 11 essays in this collection examine language variation through usage and system-based approaches. Linguistics scholars from the US, Canada, and Europe discuss the autonomy of grammar, how language is a social phenomenon that occurs from usage and interaction with other users, problems of the system-usage dichotomy, and variation in syntax in Brazilian Portuguese; rare phenomenon and variation, including verb-object sequences in Mennonite Low German, intra-speaker variation, and acceptability and frequency in syntactic variation; and the dimension of time, focusing on the causes of historic change in the Spanish progressive and Spanish auxiliary selection, and language evolution.
