Preposition placement, the competition between preposition-stranding
(What is he talking
abouti)
and pied-piping (About what is he talking?), is
one of the most interesting areas of syntactic variation in English. This is
the first book to investigate preposition placement across all types of clauses
that license it, such as questions, exclamations and n A-clauses, and those
which exhibit categorical stranding, such as non-wh relative clauses, com¬
paratives and passives. Drawing on over
100
authentic examples from both
first-language (British) and second-language (Kenyan) data, it combines
experimental and corpus-based approaches to provide a full grammatical
account of preposition placement in both varieties of English. Although
written within the usage-based Construction Grammar framework, the
results are presented in theory-neutral terminology, making them access¬
ible to researchers from all syntactic schools. This pioneering volume
will be of interest not only to syntacticians, but also to spcond-language
researchers and those working on variation in English.
