It contributes to Construction Grammar theory by adopting a verb-based, rather than construction-based, perspective on argument structure. This allows the probing of the interface between verb-independent generalizations and item-specificity from an underexplored angle that offers new insights into the shape of the constructicon. From a variationist perspective, it seeks to (i) identify features of New Englishes and gauge whether these features exhibit traces of conventionalization, and (ii) assess whether the degree of institutionalization of the New Englishes correlates with linguistic behavior, both from a social and cognitive perspective, thereby contributing to the budding effort to integrate the cognitive and social dimensions into the modeling of linguistic variation in World Englishes"--Provided by publisher.Studies in Corpus Linguistics Make (The English word)English languageVerbEnglish languageSyntaxEnglish languageVariationConstruction grammarCorpora (Linguistics)Make (The English word)English languageVerb.English languageSyntax.English languageVariation.Construction grammar.Corpora (Linguistics)425.6Laporte Samantha842991MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821345103321Corpora, constructions, new Englishes1881134UNINA
