Description:
The Variable Morphosyntax of Multi-ethnic London English (MLE)
This project takes an extant large database of spoken material from
multi-ethnic communities in inner London and examines a range of
morphosyntactic phenomena in the variety. The initial part of the
project will be to identify a subset of morphosyntactic features in the
variety that are amenable to both syntactic and sociolinguistic
analysis. Each of these features will then be analysed, using standard
multivariate techniques, to determine what factors influence the
variability, and how the variety itself is changing in reaction to the
ways that it is used by its speakers. This may require the collection
and coding of extra data from the same communities. The variationist
analysis will be complemented by a morphosyntactic analysis of the
features, and the core theoretical issue will be to develop further a
framework for understanding both the limits and the extent of
morphosyntactic variation in this variety, and the mechanisms by which
features emerge, are maintained, and are lost in the variety.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in both generative
syntax and in variationist sociolinguistics, with a good masters degree,
ideally in one of these areas, or the connection between them. The
project will be jointly supervised by Professor Jenny Cheshire and
Professor David Adger.
The project will start in September 2014, and is fully funded for three years.
