摘要
本研究探讨了语言内部的限制因素如何调节全球九种英语的未来时间参照(FTR)交替。我们特别运用了基于变异的距离与相似性建模(VADIS)来计算所研究的变体之间的距离,作为语言使用者在 FTR 变体之间进行选择的非对应方式的函数。我们的语言数据来自《国际英语语料库》(International Corpus of English)的口语部分:该数据集涵盖了每种英语的 500 个未来标记观测值(Ntotal = 4500),并针对七种语言内部约束(如极性和句子类型)进行了丰富的注释。VADIS 发现了所研究的英语变体之间的一些概率语法差异,这些差异随后与四种语言外部距离度量相关联:地理距离、旅行时间距离、人口规模和人均 GDP。曼特尔相关分析表明,语言内部距离与语言外部距离并不相关。
Future temporal reference in spoken world Englishes
This study investigates how language‐internal constraints regulate the future temporal reference (FTR) alternation across nine varieties of English around the world. We specifically marshal Variation‐Based Distance & Similarity Modeling (VADIS) to calculate distances between the varieties under study as a function of the non‐correspondence of the ways in which language users choose between FTR variants. Our linguistic data come from the spoken component of the International Corpus of English: the dataset covers 500 future marker observations per variety of English (Ntotal = 4500), richly annotated for seven language‐internal constraints (such as polarity and sentence type). VADIS uncovers a number of probabilistic grammar differences between the varieties of English under study, which are subsequently correlated with four language‐external distance measures: geographical distance, travel time distance, population size and GDP per capita. Mantel correlation analysis shows that language‐internal distances do not correlate with language‐external distances.
期刊介绍:
World Englishes is integrative in its scope and includes theoretical and applied studies on language, literature and English teaching, with emphasis on cross-cultural perspectives and identities. The journal provides recent research, critical and evaluative papers, and reviews from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. Thematic special issues and colloquia appear regularly. Special sections such as ''Comments / Replies'' and ''Forum'' promote open discussions and debate.
