Past Marking in Australian Aboriginal English on Croker Island
In this paper, we investigate variable past marking in Australian Aboriginal English as spoken on Croker Island, Northern Territory.

A Diachronic Study of Modals and Semi-modals in Indian English Newspapers
Although Indian English is the best-documented South Asian English, its diachronic development has not been described to a great extent. The present study begins to address this gap by offering a real-time perspective on the evolution of modals and semi-modals in Indian English. It sketches the changes in the frequency of modals and semi-modals in three corpora of Indian newspaper texts from 1939, 1968, and the early 2000s. Changes in the frequen…

The authors present a quantitative investigation of variable features, comparing the…
