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.
