Among the key focus areas that define research in the field of English linguistics today, this selection concentrates on four: corpus linguistics, English as a global language, cognitive linguistics, and second language acquisition. Most of the articles in this volume concentrate on at least two of these areas and at the same time bring in their own suggestions towards building bridges within and across sub-disciples of linguistics and beyond. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/slcs.177.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027259424.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027259424.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/slcs.177.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/slcs.177.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/slcs.177.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/slcs.177.hb.png 10 01 JB code slcs.177.01che 1 12 12 Article 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Introduction</TitleText> 1 A01 Sarah Chevalier Chevalier, Sarah Sarah Chevalier University of Zurich 2 A01 Anne-Christine Gardner Gardner, Anne-Christine Anne-Christine Gardner 3 A01 Alpo Honkapohja Honkapohja, Alpo Alpo Honkapohja 4 A01 Marianne Hundt Hundt, Marianne Marianne Hundt 5 A01 Gerold Schneider Schneider, Gerold Gerold Schneider 6 A01 Olga Timofeeva Timofeeva, Olga Olga Timofeeva 10 01 JB code slcs.177.02hir 13 33 21 Article 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Accommodation, dialect contact and grammatical variation</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Verbs of obligation in the Anglophone community in Japan</Subtitle> 1 A01 Keiko Hirano Hirano, Keiko Keiko Hirano University of Kitakyushu 2 A01 David Britain Britain, David David Britain University of Bern 20 dialect contact 20 linguistic accommodation 20 social network approach 20 verbs of obligation 01 The present study investigates dialect contact and linguistic accommodation in the use of verbs expressing obligation (such as MUST, HAVE GOT TO, HAVE TO and GOT TO) among native speakers of English resident in Japan, using a social network approach. Approximately 500 tokens were extracted from conversations between 39 native speakers of English from England, the US and New Zealand, recorded in single-nationality dyads, both immediately upon arrival in Japan and after a period of one year. Statistical analysis revealed that the informants from England actually diverged from the forms typically used by the Americans. The results, however, demonstrate the importance of social network strength in accounting for the consequences of dialect contact and short to medium-term linguistic accommodation. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.03kru 35 66 32 Article 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Patterns of linguistic globalization</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Integrating typological profiles and questionnaire data</Subtitle> 1 A01 Manfred G.

We explore how descriptive and inferential statistics (such as linear regression) and exploratory techniques (such as aggregative analyses) can be combined for a more holistic investigation of variationist questionnaire data on lexical choices from British, Maltese, American and Puerto Rican English. Our analyses show that raters from the British English(-influenced) and the American English(-influenced) sphere form distinct clusters. Adopting a more fine-grained perspective, we find evidence both for the actual existence of four distinct regional varieties and for globalizing tendencies. Based on our results, we further argue that variety-internal variation is often motivated lexically rather than socially. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.04gre 67 116 50 Article 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The substitutability and diffusion of <i>want to</i> and <i>wanna</i> in world Englishes</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">substitutability and diffusion of <i>want to</i> and <i>wanna</i> in world Englishes</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Eugene Green Green, Eugene Eugene Green Boston University 20 clausal patterns 20 functional shift 20 phonological features 20 pragmatics 20 semantic dimensions 20 verb phrases 01 Occurrences of <i>want to</i> and <i>wanna</i> in the extensive database GloWbE have widespread, though disparate, frequencies in varieties of English.

This study aims at exploring to what extent dialect contact contributes to the variation of GET in British, Jamaican, and Singaporean English, in particular to variation in the frequencies of its word-forms and in the use of the GET-passive. For that purpose, all tokens of GET in the ICE (International Corpus of English) corpora of Great Britain, Jamaica, and Singapore were analysed for form and meaning. The results demonstrate that influence from the major standard varieties British and American English as well as substrate influence can be made responsible for the variation of GET. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.06sch 141 174 34 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Future time marking in spoken Ghanaian English</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">The variation of<i> will</i> vs. <i>be going to</i></Subtitle> 1 A01 Agnes Schneider Schneider, Agnes Agnes Schneider University of Freiburg 20 corpus linguistics 20 future time marking 20 Ghanaian English 20 mixed effects logistic regression model 20 nativization 20 World Englishes 01 This article investigates outcomes in the process of structural nativization in the evolution of New English varieties in the domain of future time marking, analyzing the constraints on variation of WILL and BE GOING TO in spoken Ghanaian English (GhE) as compared to British English (BrE), using mixed effects logistic regression models. The analysis shows that in spoken GhE future time markers are not as clearly distributed syntactically, semantically, and pragmatically as in spoken BrE, which reflects its learner variety history and its status in a highly multilingual society. However, it is also shown that different future marker-verb collocations in spoken GhE may reflect first nativization processes in the variety, which corroborates previous findings that innovations in New Englishes start at the lexico-grammatical level (cf.

It considers three levels of analysis, from the more individual (foreign language learners having spent different periods of time in a target language country) to the more general (foreign language setting vs. official language setting), over an intermediate level of analysis comparing populations of foreign language learners from different countries. The corpus study carried out suggests that a higher degree of exposure to naturalistic language tends to have a positive impact on learners&#8217; knowledge of discourse markers, resulting in more frequent use, better approximation of native speaker frequencies and, possibly, more fluent usage. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.10sch 251 280 30 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Processing of aspectual meanings by non-native and native English speakers during narrative comprehension</TitleText> 1 A01 Andreas Schramm Schramm, Andreas Andreas Schramm Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota 2 A01 Michael C. Mensink Mensink, Michael C. Michael C. Mensink University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menomonie, Wisconsin 20 aspectual meanings 20 grammatical and lexical aspect 20 language acquisition 20 narrative processes 20 text comprehension 01 Languages have unique systems of language forms, meanings, and conventions for expressing narratives and temporal structure, grammatical aspect and its meaning and use being part of it. In second-language acquisition, little is known what temporal concepts and concurrent forms are comprehended at certain development stages and whether resulting mental representations are similar between native and non-native adult English speakers. In this study, we investigate whether readers attend to semantic content and draw causal inferences. Advanced non-native, unlike native, readers appear to not notice aspectual meanings and, apparently, the input is not cognitively registered; implicit learning of aspect seems unlikely. In native readers, aspect affects the availability of situations enabling causal inferencing, and imperfective aspect appears to be mentally stored in-focus. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.11sch 281 320 40 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Statistical sequence and parsing models for descriptive linguistics and psycholinguistics</TitleText> 1 A01 Gerold Schneider Schneider, Gerold Gerold Schneider University of Zurich/University of Konstanz 2 A01 Gintare Grigonyte Grigonyte, Gintare Gintare Grigonyte University of Stockholm 20 ambiguity 20 idiom and syntax principle 20 language processing 20 statistical models 20 syntactic parsing 01 This study shows that using computational linguistic models is beneficial for descriptive linguistics and psycholinguistics. It applies two models to various English genres and learner language: 1) surprisal and 2) a syntactic parser, allowing us to investigate the role of ambiguity and the interplay between idiom and syntax principles. We find that surprisal and ambiguity are higher for learner language, while parser scores and model fit are lower. In addition, the random application of alternations leads to more ambiguous sentences. Failures to generate optimal orderings in the sense of relevance theory, such as nonnative-like utterances by language learners exhibit, increase processing load, both for human and automatic processors. As human and automatic parsing difficulties correlate, we suggest syntactic parsers as psycholinguistic processing models. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.12nam 321 322 2 Miscellaneous 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.177.13sub 323 326 4 Miscellaneous 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20161101 2016 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027259424 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 676016535 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code SLCS 177 Hb 15 9789027259424 13 2016026252 BB 01 SLCS 02 0165-7763 Studies in Language Companion Series 177 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">New Approaches to English Linguistics</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Building bridges</Subtitle> 01 slcs.177 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.177 1 B01 Olga Timofeeva Timofeeva, Olga Olga Timofeeva University of Zurich 2 B01 Anne-Christine Gardner Gardner, Anne-Christine Anne-Christine Gardner University of Zurich 3 B01 Alpo Honkapohja Honkapohja, Alpo Alpo Honkapohja University of Zurich 4 B01 Sarah Chevalier Chevalier, Sarah Sarah Chevalier University of Zurich 01 eng 332 vi 326 LAN009050 v.2006 CF 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.ENG English linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.GERM Germanic linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.HL Historical linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SOCIO Sociolinguistics and Dialectology 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 This book aims at providing a cross-section of current developments in English linguistics, by tracing recent approaches to corpus linguistics and statistical methodology, by introducing new inter- and multidisciplinary refinements to empirical methodology, and by documenting the on-going emphasis shift within the discipline of English linguistics from the study of dominant language varieties to that of post-colonial, minority, non-standardised, learner and L2 varieties.

In second-language acquisition, little is known what temporal concepts and concurrent forms are comprehended at certain development stages and whether resulting mental representations are similar between native and non-native adult English speakers. In this study, we investigate whether readers attend to semantic content and draw causal inferences. Advanced non-native, unlike native, readers appear to not notice aspectual meanings and, apparently, the input is not cognitively registered; implicit learning of aspect seems unlikely. In native readers, aspect affects the availability of situations enabling causal inferencing, and imperfective aspect appears to be mentally stored in-focus. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.11sch 281 320 40 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Statistical sequence and parsing models for descriptive linguistics and psycholinguistics</TitleText> 1 A01 Gerold Schneider Schneider, Gerold Gerold Schneider University of Zurich/University of Konstanz 2 A01 Gintare Grigonyte Grigonyte, Gintare Gintare Grigonyte University of Stockholm 20 ambiguity 20 idiom and syntax principle 20 language processing 20 statistical models 20 syntactic parsing 01 This study shows that using computational linguistic models is beneficial for descriptive linguistics and psycholinguistics. It applies two models to various English genres and learner language: 1) surprisal and 2) a syntactic parser, allowing us to investigate the role of ambiguity and the interplay between idiom and syntax principles. We find that surprisal and ambiguity are higher for learner language, while parser scores and model fit are lower. In addition, the random application of alternations leads to more ambiguous sentences. Failures to generate optimal orderings in the sense of relevance theory, such as nonnative-like utterances by language learners exhibit, increase processing load, both for human and automatic processors. As human and automatic parsing difficulties correlate, we suggest syntactic parsers as psycholinguistic processing models. 10 01 JB code slcs.177.12nam 321 322 2 Miscellaneous 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code slcs.177.13sub 323 326 4 Miscellaneous 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20161101 2016 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 735 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 23 20 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 20 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 20 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
