Focusing on the unique grammar of English dialects, this book presents the first comprehensive empirical study of non-standard negation throughout Great Britain. It challenges the notion that spoken English is converging with written standards by highlighting the complexities and variations in dialect grammar. Addressing a gap in research, it moves beyond regional limitations and subjective observations, offering valuable insights into the linguistic diversity of English as it is spoken across different regions.
