Linguistic Perspectives on a Variable English Morpheme: Let's talk about –s de Laura Rupp

Linguistic Perspectives on a Variable English Morpheme: Let's talk about –s

Autor Laura Rupp, David Britain
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iun 2019
This book investigates –s marking in English verbs, specifically its manifestations in main verbs, in the past tense of BE, and in existential constructions. It embraces the many ways in which –s marking varies across the English speaking world, and considers both how it arose in these places historically and the ways in which it has since developed. The authors propose a story which holistically accounts for these different manifestations of –s, drawing upon evidence from a wide range of subdisciplines in linguistics, including sociolinguistics, generative syntax, historical linguistics, dialectology, and discourse-pragmatics. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in these and related fields.

Recenzii

“Whether diagrammatic iconicity is really the underlying motivation for these phenomena or rather a very general observable outcome is a matter up for further discussion, for which this volume provides considerable incentive. … This volume could serve as a precursor for future fruitful discussions predicated on this proposed integrative approach.” (Nikolaus Wildner, Language in Society, Vol. 51 (5), 2022)

Caracteristici

Examines how –s emerged historically, the way it developed, how it has been distributed geographically and socially, and the work it performs in the English language Explores a wide range of alternative linguistic, social and stylistic functions performed by –s in non-standard dialects of English Argues that adequate understanding of –s marking can only be achieved by integrating perspectives from different disciplines
