520 _a"It is well-known that British and American English differ substantially in their pronunciation and vocabulary - but differences in their grammar have largely been underestimated. This volume focuses on British-American differences in the structure of words and sentences and supports them with computer-aided studies of large text collections. Despite being the subject of a vast body of literature, this is the first book-length treatment of British and American English, and is based on empirical analyses of present-day as well as earlier forms of the two varieties. The authors explore some of the better known contrasts, as well as a variety of innovative themes that have so far received little or no consideration. Bringing together the work of a team of leading scholars in the field, this book will be of interest to those working within the fields of English historical linguistics, language variation and change, and dialectology."--Publisher description.
