Democratization of Englishes
The term democratization has been used in recent linguistic research to describe how specific linguistic changes can be linked to changes in sociocultural norms. This broad definition, however, does not fully capture the essence of this phenomenon or explain how it differs from other processes of language change. Other key issues in this area of research include what the cause-effect relationship is between linguistic change and social change, an…
Grammaticalization of semi-modals of necessity in Asian Englishes
The decline of central modal must and the increase in frequency of the semi-modals have (got) to, need (to) , and want to is one of the most conspicuous grammatical changes that inner-circle varieties of English underwent in the second half of the 20th century. Such a replacement correlates with the increasing grammaticalization of the semi-modals in terms of semantic and quantitative developments. The current paper explores the differential gram…
Agent-based models of language competition
This article uses computer simulations as a means of assessing two different models for the competition between two languages from the interdisciplinary perspective of complex systems. These models allow for the analysis of the role of bilingual speakers and they consider two of the basic factors determining the use of each language: their relative prestige and the language loyalty of their speakers. Here we assess the effect of these parameters …
Mathematical models meet linguistic data and vice versa
Linguistics in the 21st century is faced with a series of methodological innovations that have opened up new ways of describing language: experimental methods allow us to measure the activity of the human brain and to relate this activity to linguistic behavior and ability (Bornkessel-Schlesewsky and Schlesewsky 2009); new discoveries in genetics and in evolutionary biology show how certain genes play crucial roles in our language faculty and all…
More on the idiosyncrasy of Dan Michel's Ayenbite of Inwit
Dan Michel's Ayenbite of Inwit (fl 1340), a (Kentish) Middle English translation of a French treatise, shows interesting idiosyncratic features in the areas of orthography and lexis (cf. Scahill, “Dan Michel: Fossil or innovator?”, John Benjamins, 2002, for example). From a syntactic perspective, a preliminary overview of the text reveals that Dan Michel has a strong preference for the verb of necessity bihoven (>PDE behove, see MED s.v. bihoven)…
