It aims to provide a solid foundation in syntactic analysis while highlighting the potential for variationist linguistics and theoretical syntax to interact. By working through a series of examples and exercises, readers will gain an understanding of how all language varieties are rule-based and can be systematically observed and described, regardless of their level of standardization or social value. Each chapter explores specific syntactic phenomena in different English varieties, using analysis of given constructions and comparison to similar structures to introduce relevant concepts in Minimalist syntax.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 362g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 x 215 x 22 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474425520                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elspeth Edelstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096214925562,"sku":"9781474425520","price":19.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4f5829081ec7cb46e583d481b003e5e6.jpg?v=1624498996","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/english-syntax-a-minimalist-account-of-structure-and-variation","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
