Style and politeness: the case of the personal pronoun

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This paper compares variation in choice of pronoun case in different regional varieties of the English language, as Peters discovers evidence for the influence of pragmatic factors in some registers less subject to prescription. This study uses data from the International Corpus of English in order to profile the frequencies of fully case-marked pronouns in contemporary Australian, New Zealand, and British English.
