This class is an introduction to the morphosyntax of contemporary World Englishes, with a focus on the study of variation and innovation in this area. By reviewing prominent case studies, we will learn to detect morphosyntactic variation and identify the factors that may predict variation: internal forces like the tendency towards simplicity and external forces such as globalization. Time permitting, the class will include hands-on sessions on electronic corpora of World Englishes, which will provide attendees with methodological tools to study morphosyntactic variation.
Course readings will be announced in the first session.
Course requirements will be announced in the first session.
