According to Burton, these tales were based on various characters in the black community of Auburn, and 36 of them were devoted exclusively to a character called ""Marengo Jake."" Probably originally from Virginia, Jake Mitchell was brought to the Drake Plantation in Marengo county as a boy in the 1850's.

Constructions are generalizations over remembered exemplars of language use. These exemplars are stored with all their formal and functional properties, yielding constructional generalizations that contain many parameters of variation. Over time, as patterns of language use are changing, the generalizations are changing with them. This book illustrates the workings of constructional change with three corpus-based studies that reveal patterns of change at several levels of linguistic structure, ranging from allomorphy to word formation and to syntax. Taken together, the results strongly motivate the use of construction grammar in research on diachronic language change. This new perspective has wide-ranging consequences for the way historical linguists think about language change. It will be of particular interest to linguists working on morpho-syntax, sociolinguistics and corpus linguistics. 410 0$aStudies in English language. 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar 606 $aConstruction grammar 606 $aEnglish language$xUsage 606 $aLinguistic change 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar. 615 0$aConstruction grammar. 615 0$aEnglish language$xUsage. 615 0$aLinguistic change. 676 $a427 700 $aHilpert$b Martin$0618500 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452170803321 996 $aConstructional Change in English$91071908 997 $aUNINA
