Aspects of the syntax of educated Singaporean English: Attitudes, beliefs and usage (Europäische Hochschulschriften / European University Studies / Publications Universitaires Européennes)

This work consists of a collection of eight papers on the syntax of English as spoken and written by educated Singaporeans. The topics dealt with include various aspects of verb-phrase structure and use, comparative constructions, and relative pronoun selection. Some of the papers are dialectological in focus and some theoretical, but all were researched through questionnaire-based interviews and/or examination of bodies of written material. Eleven Singapore researchers collaborated with the editor in this project.
