Salience in Welsh English grammar : a usage-based approach

Hochschulschrift

Zusammenfassung: This book explores salience in dialect grammar, i.e. the degree to which features are perceived as characteristic of Welsh English. The author approaches salience from a usage-based perspective, testing the extent to which a feature’s salience can be predicted by its frequency in language use. So far, not much is known about the impact of frequency on the conspicuousness of regional grammatical features. The present study provides a systematic analysis of the relation between salience and different forms of token frequency (e.g. frequency in the target dialect, frequency differences between the target dialect and the dialect of outsiders).
