What determines whether we say She gave him a book instead of She
gave a book to him? The author views this 'dative alternation' as a
sociolinguistic variable and explores its distribution across
different British English dialects, registers and time frames. It
thereby offers a novel, language-external explanation of the choice
of one construction over the other and sheds new light on British
dialect syntax.
