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.Topics in English linguistics ;Volume 50.3.Grammar, Comparative and generalVerbGrammar, Comparative and generalTransitivityGenerative grammarEnglish languageDialectsConstruction grammarPhrase structure grammarElectronic books.Grammar, Comparative and generalVerb.Grammar, Comparative and generalTransitivity.Generative grammar.English languageDialects.Construction grammar.Phrase structure grammar.415HF 297rvkGerwin Johanna1042399MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459719203321Ditransitives in British English dialects2466598UNINA04010nam 2200685 450 991058598330332120231110230054.09781773852553(electronic bk.)978177385253910.1515/9781773852553(MiAaPQ)EBC6828379(Au-PeEL)EBL6828379(CKB)20151369000041(PPN)266302076(DE-B1597)664029(DE-B1597)9781773852553(EXLCZ)992015136900004120220830d2021 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe material theory of induction /John D.

The traditional approach is modeled on that taken in accounts of deductive inference. It seeks universally applicable schemas or rules or a single formal device, such as the probability calculus. After millennia of halting efforts, none of these approaches has been unequivocally successful and debates between approaches persist. The Material Theory of Induction identifies the source of these enduring problems in the assumption taken at the outset: that inductive inference can be accommodated by a single formal account with universal applicability. Instead, it argues that that there is no single, universally applicable formal account. Rather, each domain has an inductive logic native to it.The content of that logic and where it can be applied are determined by the facts prevailing in that domain. Paying close attention to how inductive inference is conducted in science and copiously illustrated with real-world examples, The Material Theory of Induction will initiate a new tradition in the analysis of inductive inference.BSPS Open Induction (Logic)books about philosophy of science.books about science.books for scientists.chance.deductive inference.deductive logic.history of science.inductive inference.inductive logic.inductive support.material theory of induction.new theory of induction.philosophy of science.probability.study of chance.study of probability.study of science.theory of induction.Induction (Logic)161Norton John D.1252654MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910585983303321The Material Theory of Induction2904236UNINA
