This is the central issue explored in this volume, which contains a unique selection of innovative in-depth empirical studies written in a broadly functional framework. The factors investigated include the following: phonological influences (such as the principle of rhythmic alternation and optimal syllable structure), frequency, pervasive semantic and pragmatic aspects (including iconicity, markedness, grammaticalization and typological tendencies), information structure, processing complexity and horror aequi (the avoidance of identity effects). 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v43. 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation. 676 $a425 686 $aHF 520$2rvk 701 $aRohdenburg$b Gu?nter$f1940-$01466061 701 $aMondorf$b Britta$f1963-$01082686 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785826903321 996 $aDeterminants of grammatical variation in English$93676352 997 $aUNINA
