Preposition placement, the competition between preposition stranding (What is he talking about?) and pied-piping (About what is he talking?), is one of the most interesting areas of syntactic variation in English. This is the first book to investigate preposition placement across all types of clauses that license it, such as questions, exclamations and wh-clauses, and those which exhibit categorical stranding, such as non-wh relative clauses, comparatives, and passives. Drawing on over 100 authentic examples from both first-language (English) and second-language (Kenyan) data, it combines experimental and corpus-based approaches to provide a full grammatical account of preposition placement in both varieties of English. Although written within the usage-based construction grammar framework, the results are presented in theory-neutral terminology, making them accessible to researchers from all syntactic schools. This pioneering volume will be of interest not only to syntacticians, but also second-language researchers and those working on variation in English.

The preposition is of particular interest to syntacticians, historians and sociolinguists of English, as its placement within a sentence is influenced by syntactic and sociolinguistic constraints, and by how the 'rules' regarding prepositions have changed over time, as a result of language change, of change in attitudes towards language, and of processes such as standardization. This book investigates preposition placement in the early and late Modern English periods (1500-1900), with a special focus on preposition stranding (The house which I live in) in opposition to pied piping (The house in which I live). Based on a large-scale analysis of precept and usage data, this study reassesses the alleged influence of late eighteenth-century normative works on language usage. It also sheds new light on the origins of the stigmatisation of preposition stranding. This study will be of interest to scholars working on syntax and grammar, corpus linguistics, historical linguistics and sociolinguistics.

This completely revised and expanded edition of English Prepositions Explained (EPE), originally published in 1998, covers approximately 100 simple, compound, and phrasal English prepositions of space and time – with the focus being on short prepositions such as at, by, in, and on. Its target readership includes teachers of ESOL, pre-service translators and interpreters, undergraduates in English linguistics programs, studious advanced learners and users of English, and anyone who is inquisitive about the English language. The overall aim is to explain how and why meaning changes when one preposition is swapped for another in the same context. While retaining most of the structure of the original, this edition says more about more prepositions. It includes many more figures – virtually all new. The exposition draws on recent research, and is substantially founded on evidence from digitalized corpora, including frequency data. EPE gives information and insights that will not be found in dictionaries and grammar handbooks.

Ergebnissen gebrauchsbasierter Forschung zufolge entsteht sprachliches Wissen aus dem Gebrauch einer bestimmten Sprache. Als eine Form assoziativen Lernens beruht Sprachelernen hiernach auf den domänenübergreifenden Fähigkeiten der Lerner, wiederkehrende Erfahrungsmuster zu erkennen, sich einzuprägen und wiederzuerkennen, etwa auf ihrer Fähigkeit, sich sprachliche Gebrauchsereignisse einzuprägen und Ähnlichkeiten zwischen ihnen wahrzunehmen, Kategorien zu bilden und Häufigkeitsverteilungen einzuschätzen. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert den Erwerb der Wortfolgevariation bei der Platzierung von Präpositionen ("preposition placement") in Englisch als Fremdsprache aus gebrauchsbasierter Sicht. Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschung hat gezeigt, dass die Variation zwischen Voranstellung einer Präposition ("fronting", z.B. the topic about which I talk) und ihrer Nachstellung ("stranding", z.B. the topic which I talk about) von verschiedenen Faktoren bestimmt wird, etwa von kontextuellen Eigenschaften wie der Art, Bedeutung und Komplexität der umgebenden Struktur sowie von gebrauchsbasierten Einflussgrößen wie Häufigkeitsverteilung, sprachübergreifender Ähnlichkeit und bestimmten lexikalischen Einheiten und Folgen. Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich im Besonderen auf die Beziehung zwischen dem Erwerb und dem Gebrauch von Voran- und Nachstellung von Präpositionen in Relativsätzen. Eine Korpusstudie untersuchte Voran- und Nachstellung von Präpositionen anhand einer Stichprobe englischer Relativsätze aus mutter- und fremdsprachlichen Korpora. ..

The renewed focus on the evidential base of linguistics in general, but particularly on syntax, is in to a large degree dependent on technological developments: computers, electronic storage and transmission. These factors have enabled a revolution in the accessibility of digitally stored language, both in sampled and organized corpora and in its raw unsampled form on the internet. But this technology has also allowed a step-change in experimental methods readily available to linguists. The new arrival of such enormous quantities of data in greatly increased detail has made information accessible which could previously not even have been dreamed of. This volume is a selection of research reports from linguists who are making use of this new information and trying to integrate the new insights into their analyses and theoretical assumptions.
