Pseudo-partitives are strings of the form [N1 – of – N2] in which N1 denotes a quantity or amount of whatever it is that N2 denotes and in which N2 is a bare nominal. Such strings come in two types, depending on whether the combination shares the number value of N1 or N2. The first type can be analyzed along familiar lines, but the second one is a hard nut to crack. The article presents existing treatments, showing that they all involve departures from independently motivated principles. As an alternative we propose an analysis that is cast in the Typed Feature Structure notation of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. It handles both types of pseudo-partitives, arguing that N1 and the preposition of are complement-selecting heads if the number value is shared with N1, while N1 and the preposition are head-selecting functors if the number value is shared with N2. The switch from head to functor status is characteristic of grammaticalization and is shown to affect pseudo-partitives with a quantifier noun or a collection noun as N1, but not pseudo-partitives with a measure noun or collection noun. Examples and quantitative data are extracted from COCA.
伪分式是形式为[N1 - of - N2]的字符串，其中N1表示N2所表示的某种数量或数量，其中N2是纯粹的标称。这样的字符串有两种类型，取决于组合是否共享N1或N2的数值。第一种类型可以按照熟悉的思路进行分析，但第二种类型是很难破解的。本文介绍了现有的治疗方法，表明它们都涉及对独立动机原则的背离。作为一种替代方案，我们提出了一种用头驱动短语结构语法的类型化特征结构表示法进行的分析。它处理了两种类型的伪分词，认为如果数值与N1共享，N1和介词of是补体选择头，而如果数值与N2共享，N1和介词是头选择函子。从词头状态到函子状态的转换是语法化的特征，并被证明会影响量词名词或集合名词为N1的假分词，但不会影响量词或集合名词的假分词。从COCA中提取了实例和定量数据。

The following article reports on a multimodal corpus study of English as if constructions. The results of this study suggest that formulaic and insubordinate as if constructions are prosodically chunked as clauses, with formulaic as if constructions uttered with significantly higher pitch and insubordinate as if constructions with lower pitch when being compared with subordinate uses. In addition, insubordinate as if clauses are occasionally accompanied by frowns. It is argued that, although both constructions convey an ironic interpretation, multimodal markers of irony play only a minor role in explaining the findings. Instead, it is argued that the non-verbal features are construction-specific and can reasonably be explained as cross-modal collostructions. As such, the present article provides a description of the non-verbal features accompanying English as if clauses and provides a theoretical explanation. In doing so, some modest evidence for a multimodal Utterance Construction Grammar is also presented.

This article investigates yod dropping, i.e. the loss of the onglide after the coronals /t, d, n/, in Toronto English. Previous research has shown that this change is almost complete in Canadian English. However, most work has drawn on self-reported data rather than actual speech, and few studies have taken word frequency into consideration, although it has been shown to play a major role during earlier stages of the change. Combining auditory and acoustic analysis of production data from 20 speakers from the Greater Toronto Area, this study confirms that the change towards the yod-less pronunciation is largely complete. As in other varieties, there is considerable acoustic overlap between test words that historically had yod (new) and those that did not (too). This highlights the need to move away from predetermined cut-off points for determining yod presence, which are common in previous work, and find diagnostics that will allow us to distinguish between yod retention and /u/-fronting, another change that is currently underway in Canadian English (see also Roeder et al.2018). Possible solutions are discussed.

English tense/aspect-marking is an area where variation abounds and where many theories have been formulated. Diachronic studies of the preterit/present perfect alternation indicate that the present perfect (e.g. I have eaten already) has been losing ground to the preterit (e.g. I ate already) (e.g. Elsness 1997, but see Hundt & Smith 2009, Werner 2014). However, few studies have examined this alternation in vernacular speech. This article fills this lacuna by analyzing spoken data from Ontario, Canada, from an apparent-time perspective. Using a large archive of multiple communities and people of different generations, we focus on linguistic contexts known to be variable, viz. with adverbs of indefinite time. Results indicate that, in contrast with previous studies, the alternation is mostly stable. We find evidence of change only with the adverb ever. Where there is evidence of change, this change is different from the predictions in the literature, with the preterit increasing in frequency. We suggest that a minor constructionalization process operates in tandem with ongoing specialization of the preterit/present perfect contrast. Taken together, these results provide another example of the importance of including speech in research on language variation and change and of the unique contribution certain constructions make to more general systems of grammar.
英语时态/方面标记是一个变化很大的领域，已经形成了许多理论。对过去完成时/现在完成时交替的历时性研究表明，现在完成时(例如，我已经吃过了)已经被过去完成时(例如，我已经吃过了)所取代(例如，Elsness 1997，但参见hunt & Smith 2009, Werner 2014)。然而，很少有研究对白话中的这种变化进行研究。本文通过从明显时间的角度分析来自加拿大安大略省的语音数据来填补这一空白。使用多个社区和不同世代的人的大型档案，我们专注于已知的可变语言语境，即不确定时间的副词。结果表明，与以往的研究相反，这种交替基本上是稳定的。我们只在副词ever中找到了变化的证据。在有变化证据的地方，这种变化与文献中的预测不同，而且这种变化的频率在增加。我们建议，一个次要的建构过程与正在进行的一般/现在完美对比的专业化同时进行。综上所述，这些结果提供了另一个例子，说明在语言变异和变化的研究中包括语音的重要性，以及某些结构对更一般的语法系统的独特贡献。
