Description

Solid descriptive and empirical investigations of other than semantic and stylistic forces at work in grammatical variation are still at a premium. The book's explicit objective is to explore a range of additional factors that have a bearing on the choice of grammatical variants but which have so far been generally overlooked. The factors investigated include the following: phonological influences (such as the principle of rhythmic alternation and optimal syllable structure), frequency, pervasive semantic and pragmatic aspects (including iconicity, markedness, grammaticalization and typological tendencies), information structure, processing complexity and horror aequi (the avoidance of identity effects).
