Description: Comparative Grammar Of British English Dialects : Agreement, Gender, Relative Clauses, Hardcover by Kortmann, Bernd (EDT); Herrmann, Tanja (EDT); Pietsch, Lukas (EDT); Wagner, Susanne (EDT), ISBN 3110182998, ISBN-13 9783110182996, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Kortmann, Tanja Herrmann, Lukas Pietsch, and Susanne Wagner inaugurate the series, to be published at irregular intervals, designed to mitigate neglect in the study of the grammar of English dialects, drawing on large data collections compiled since the late 1980s. They offer qualitative and corpus-based (Freiburg English Dialect Corpus) quantitative studies of grammatical variation in the British Isles from a typological perspective. Their analysis covers relativization strategies in Scottish English, Northern Irish English, and four major dialect areas in England; the Northern Subject Rule, a special agreement phenomenon known from Northern England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland; and pronominal gender, with a focus on the typologically rather unique semantic gender system in the dialect of Southwest England.
