This volume helps to close… read more[Studies in Corpus Linguistics, 92] 2019. vi, 267 pp.
Exploring Second-Language Varieties of English and Learner Englishes: Bridging a paradigm gap
Edited by Joybrato Mukherjee and Marianne Hundt
The articles in this volume are intended to bridge what Sridhar and Sridhar (1986) have called the 'paradigm gap' between traditional SLA research on the one hand and research into institutionalised second-language varieties in former colonial territories on the other. Since both learner Englishes… read more[Studies in Corpus Linguistics, 44] 2011. vi, 222 pp.

The present study focuses on lexicogrammatical routines of South Asian Englishes that are associated with so-called ‘cultural keywords’. These routines are particularly significant manifestations of the overarching process of the linguistic acculturation of the English language in new postcolonial… read more
2014 The dative alternation in South Asian English(es): Modelling predictors and predicting prototypes English World-Wide 35:1, pp. 7–31 | Article
The present paper focuses on the modelling of cross-varietal differences and similarities in South Asian English(es) and British English at the level of verb complementation. Specifically, we analyse the dative alternation with GIVE, i.e. the alternation between the double-object construction (John… read more

It has been noted that the study of the interface between lexis and grammar in general and verb-complementational patterns and preferences in particular offers new insights into distinctive and so far largely neglected structures of varieties of English. Based on data from the International Corpus… read more

The most productive strand of this discussion concerned the modelling of different Englishes,… read more
2010 Lexical gravity across varieties of English: An ICE-based study of n-grams in Asian Englishes International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 15:4, pp. 520–548 | Article
In our earlier work on three Asian Englishes and British English, we showed how lexico-syntactic co-occurrence preferences for three argument structure constructions revealed differences between varieties that correlated well with Schneider’s (2003, 2007) model of evolutionary stages. Here, we turn… read more

Specifically, this paper will present some findings of three case… read more
2009 The lexicogrammar of present-day
Indian English: Corpus-based perspectives on structural nativisation Exploring the Lexis–Grammar Interface, Römer-Barron, Ute and Rainer Schulze (eds.), pp. 117–135 | Article
The present paper puts into perspective four areas in which new local norms have emerged in the lexicogrammar of Indian English, the largest institutionalised second-language variety of English world-wide: (1) collocations, (2) new prepositional verbs, (3) new ditransitive verbs, and (4)… read more

In contrast to previous studies into verb complementation in New Englishes, we start off from three basic constructions in English — the intransitive, the… read more
