Essentials of Linguistics 2e (Anderson et al.)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- Chapter 10: Language Variation and Change
- This chapter explores sociolinguistic variation and how it has been analyzed. We’ll be introduced to the concept of the linguistic variation, we’ll see how to analyze data from a variationist sociolinguistic perspective, and we’ll survey some of the major social factors that correlate with sociolinguistic variation.
- Chapter 15: PSRs and Flat Tree Structures
- This appendix is provided as an alternative to the second half of the syntax chapter (Sections 6.14-6.21), teaching flat tree structures instead of x-bar. It is written to follow Section 6.13. It is recommended to use this alternative for one-semester introductory courses, as well as any introductory courses that have two weeks or fewer to cover syntax.
