Description

Based on a large sample of press data extracted from the British National Corpus BNC the book undertakes a detailed investigation of presentday English proper names an important but underresearched area in English linguistics. Employing the statistical technique of binary logistic regression this book presents a new method of analysing nondiscrete categories in linguistics with reference to the grammatical notion of gradience and the principle of parsimony. The focus is particularly on the grammatical factors influencing the choice between use and nonuse of the definite article a wellknown issue of uncertainty in modern English.
