Functionally Equivalent Variants in a Non-standard Variety and Their Implications for Universal Grammar: A Spontaneous Speech Corpus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01260
Abstract: Findings from the field of experimental linguistics have shown that a native speaker may judge a variant that is part of her grammar as unacceptable, but still use it productively in spontaneous speech. The process… read more here.
