Drawing on vast amounts of new data from live, unscripted radio and
TV broadcasts, and the internet, this is a brilliant and original
analysis of colloquial English, revealing unusual and largely
unreported types of clause structure. Andrew Radford debunks the
myth that colloquial English has a substandard, simplified grammar,
and shows that it has a coherent and complex structure of its own.
The book develops a theoretically sophisticated account of
structure and variation in colloquial English, advancing an area
that has been previously investigated from other perspectives, such
as corpus linguistics or conversational analysis, but never before
in such detail from a formal syntactic viewpoint.
