Style in Syntax: Investigating Variation in Spanish Pronoun Subjects
ISBN: 9783034312448 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book merges variationist sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and cognitive science into a new, comprehensive approach to variation in syntax. It is based on a view of grammatical constructions as creative stylistic choices that generate particular meanings in context. This can be so because linguistic variants traditionally regarded as synonymous forms differing only in extralinguistic significance are based on cognition and reflect human perceptions of real-world events. The analysis of the variable expression and placement of Spanish pronoun subjects will show that not only the...

The methodology also involves the use of corpus...
