This study adopts an onomasiological, alternation-based approach to the exploration of grammatical variation
across World Englishes, using data sourced from the 1.9 billion-word Global Web-based English corpus. The macro-orientation of the
study, which investigates a set of ten alternations known to be susceptible to diachronic change, facilitates identification of a
number of general trends, including the typical advancement of the Inner Circle varieties and of the South-East Asian varieties,
the hypercentrality of American English, and the epicentrality of Indian English in South Asia. Possible explanatory factors
include colloquialisation, grammatical simplicity/complexity, developmental status, and areal proximity.
期刊介绍:
English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
