It is well known that British and American English differ
substantially in their pronunciation and vocabulary - but
differences in their grammar have largely been underestimated. This
volume focuses on British American differences in the structure of
words and sentences and supports them with computer-aided studies
of large text collections. Present-day as well as earlier forms of
the two varieties are included in the analyses. This makes it the
first book-length treatment of British and American English grammar
in contrast, with topics ranging from compound verbs to word order
differences and tag questions. The authors explore some of the
better-known contrasts, as well as a great variety of innovative
themes that have so far received little or no consideration.
Bringing together the work of a team of leading scholars in the
field, this book will be of interest to those working within the
fields of English historical linguistics, language variation and
change, and dialectology.
