Reviews
'Grieve presents a keen new perspective on American regional dialects, along with an accessible account of up-to-date methods for examining variation in written language.' Tyler Kendall, University of Oregon 'Grieve's study on AmE syntax is timely, long overdue, innovative, and thorough. He takes a fresh approach to investigating dialectology, both in terms of material and methods. The book is a well-structured and coherent description of modern AmE grammar. It introduces innovative statistical approach to the study of dialectal variation, and concentrates on written language instead of spoken language, which is typically the object of study in dialectology. ... This book is excellent reading for anyone who is interested and investigates grammatical variation in English(es).'
