Neutral Forms of Be as Default Forms: The Utility of Underspecification and Blocking in a Welsh Morphosyntactic Phenomenon

These specialised forms of ‘be’ are incompatible with positive main‐clause declarative complementizers, despite their apparent featural compatibility. For most speakers, they are also blocked from if‐clauses; although, I report on data regarding their ...

Towards an Integrated Model of Change: Language Contact, Dialect Contact, Internal Variation

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article outlines an integrated model of language change, where change is viewed as the acquisition of innovative grammars by individual native speakers.
