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 women's gender identity through positive and negative emotions in women's 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.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Verb-dependent non-finite complementationand, in particular, to- and bare-infinitive complementclauses have been the subject ofextensive investigation and debate. The aim ofthis monograph is to contribute to the existingliterature by modelling the variation in relationto a selection of verbs that govern to- andbare-infinite complements in the recent historyof American and British English. Using methodologiesprovided by corpus linguistics andmultivariate analyses, this book attempts toaccount for the forces that make certain verbsshow a preference for either to-infinitive orbare-infinitive complementation from MiddleEnglish onwards, and to provide a comprehensivedescription of the factors that influencethe choice of infinitival.
