Afterthought: Some brief remarks on autonomous and speaker-centered linguistic approaches to the present perfect -- $tSubject index 330 $aIt is a well-known fact that the area of the present perfect has always been a hotly contested ground, but recent corpus analyses have shown that grammatical variation in this realm in English is far more pervasive than previously assumed.This volume is the first ever book-length treatment dedicated to corpus-based work on the present perfect. It offers fresh theoretical insights resting on a solid empirical footing and investigates central aspects of language contact and change, grammaticalization, typology, and dialect formation. It sheds light on this morphosyntactic area from different angles, as it comprises both diachronic and synchronic viewpoints. Contributions explore variation in the expression of perfect meaning and the multifunctionality of perfect forms in a number of native and non-native varieties, thus going beyond the traditional British/American English paradigm, while a second focus lies on cross-variety comparisons.Bringing together the knowledge of leading experts in the field, this book represents the state of the art in data-driven research on the present perfect and will be of interest for those working in the fields of language variation and change, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, and typology. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$vVolume 91. 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a410 702 $aWerner$b Valentin 702 $aSeoane$b Elena 702 $aSua?rez Go?mez$b Cristina 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796573003321 996 $aRe-assessing the present perfect$93795042 997 $aUNINA
