In other words, linguistic patterns and tokens, once used, persist in discourse. The present book is the first large-scale corpus analysis to explore the determinants of this persistence, drawing on regression analyses of a variety of functional, discourse-functional, cognitive, psycholinguistic, and external factors. The case studies investigated include the alternation between synthetic and analytic comparatives, between the s-genitive and the of-genitive, between gerundial and infinitival complementation, particle placement, and future marker choice in a number of corpora sampling different spoken registers and geographical varieties of English. Providing a probabilistic framework for examining the ways in which persistence - among several other internal and external factors - influences speakers' linguistic choices, the book departs from most writings in the field in that it seeks to bridge several research traditions. While it is concerned, in a classically variationist spirit, with internal and external determinants of grammatical variation in English, it also draws heavily on ideas and evidence developed by psycholinguists and discourse analysts. In seeking to construct a comprehensive model of how speakers make linguistic choices, the study ultimately contributes to a theory of how spoken language works. The book is of interest to graduate students and researchers in variationist sociolinguistics, probabilistic linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v177. 606 $aEnglish language$xMorphology 606 $aEnglish language$xSyntax 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation 610 $aCorpora. 610 $aEnglish/language. 610 $asociolinguistics. 615 0$aEnglish language$xMorphology. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSyntax. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation. 676 $a425/.9 686 $a18.04$2bcl 700 $aSzmrecsanyi$b Benedikt$f1976-$01496143 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781908003321 996 $aMorphosyntactic persistence in spoken English$93820333 997 $aUNINA
