| 520 | |a This dissertation provides evidence for the development of unique features in the grammar of Philippine English as well as other new varieties of English. It examines the Philippine component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-PHI) for that-clause complements. Specifically it analyzed the verbs, nouns and adjectives that can license these clauses and their lexico-grammatical properties. It also compared the findings to those of American English (AmE) and British English (BrE), the two major norm providers in the English-speaking world today. The questions that it sought to answer are: (1) what are the frequencies of that-clause complements in the corpus? (2) what are the lexico-grammatical patterns of that-clause complements in the corpus? (3) how do these findings compare to those of AmE and BrE? AntConc software (Anthony, 2005) was used to generate key word in context (KWIC) concordance lines for frequency and collocation analyses. The findings show that in addition to following mostly AmE lexico-grammatical patterns, PhilE users also tend to have characteristics and properties that are unique to the newer varieties of English (e.g. Brunei English and Singaporean English) namely, the use of non-assertive modals could and would with that-clause complements. Other than that, it also has characteristics that seem to be a developing trend in contemporary English language. These refer to use of words that did not previously license that-clause complements, such as highlight, inform and describe. The findings complement other studies that have highlighted such unique features in the phonology, vocabulary as well as grammar of these varieties. | ||
