The study of comparative syntax in closely related languages has
yielded valuable insights into syntactic phenomena--for example in
the study of the Romance languages--yet little comparative work has
been done on English dialects. This is the first comparison of the
syntax of Belfast English and Standard English, using Chomsky's
"Principles and Parameters"/Minimalist framework. Alison Henry
analyzes various Belfast English constructions and their Standard
English counterparts to gain insight into both English syntax and
syntactic theory in general. In the process, she makes valuable
data on Belfast English readily available for the first time.
