The study of comparative syntax in closely related languages has yielded valuable insights into syntactic phenomena-for example in the study of the Romance languages-yet little comparative work has been done on English dialects. This is the first comparison of the syntax of Belfast Englishand Standard English, using Chomsky's "Principles and Parameters"/Minimalist framework. Alison Henry analyzes various Belfast English constructions and their Standard English counterparts to gain insight into both English syntax and syntactic theory in general. In the process, she makes valuabledata on Belfast English readily available for the first time. | Belfast English and Standard English by Alison Henry, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
