{"product_id":"one-language-two-grammars-gunther-rohdenburg-9780521183963","title":"One Language, Two Grammars?: Differences Between British and American English","description":"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. Present-day as well as earlier forms of the two varieties are included in the analyses. This makes it the first book-length treatment of British and American English grammar in contrast, with topics ranging from compound verbs to word order differences and tag questions. The authors explore some of the better-known contrasts, as well as a great 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gunther Rohdenburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521183960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521183963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.98d","brand":"Gunther Rohdenburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435428131071,"sku":"9780521183963","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c579750d-b90f-42d2-977d-7475b7acd4c8.jpg?v=1777150311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-language-two-grammars-gunther-rohdenburg-9780521183963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
