(1) British or American English?: A Handbook of Word and Grammar Patterns
Cambridge University Press | 2006-08-21 | ISBN: 0521379938 | 360 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB
Speakers of British and American English display some striking differences in their use of grammar. In this detailed survey, John Algeo considers questions
such as:
Who lives on a street, and who lives in a street?
Who takes a bath, and who has a bath?
Who says Neither do I, and who says Nor do I?
After “thank you”, who says Not at all and who says You’ re welcome?
Whose team are on the ball, and whose team is?
"The book is an impressive achievement that will set a new standard in language variation studies and serve as a rich source of knowledge for students of British and American English."
-Jan Svartvik, Emeritus Professor of English, Lund University, Language Problems & Language Planning
