Item description from seller

298 pp., 14 b/w ill., 6 coloured ill., 55 b/w tables, 2 graphs. A copy in mint condition. - Summary: This volume includes eleven papers pertaining to different areas of linguistics and organised into three sections. Part I contains diachronic studies which cover data from Middle English to Present-Day English and which explore phenomena such as the status of extender tags, the distribution of free adjuncts, post-auxiliary ellipsis, and the use of ephemeral concessive adverbial subordinators. Part II comprises studies on grammar and language processing dealing with topics such as the interaction between syntactic and structural complexity and verbal agreement with collective subjects, the influence of distributivity and concreteness on verbal agreement, the interaction of complexity and efficiency in pronoun omission in Indian English and Singapore English, and the methods and approaches used for grammar teaching in modern EFL/ESL textbooks. Finally, Part III revolves around lexis, discourse and pragmatics, with papers that discuss the development of the discoursal representation of social actors in Argentinian newspapers after the military dictatorship, the construction of womens gender identity through positive and negative emotions in womens magazines, and spelling-to-sound correspondence on Twitter. - Contents: Introduction (Sofía Bemposta-Rivas, Carla Bouzada-Jabois and Yolanda Fernández-Pena) -- Part I: Diachronic studies -- Looking into extender tags in Late Modern English: The case of or something or other (Alba Pérez-González) -- Referential links in -ing and -ed free adjuncts in Late Modern English (Carla Bouzada-Jabois) -- Ephemerality in concessive subordinators.
