  • 103

This paper examines a number of cases of syntactic variation in English - change over time, variation between genres, and variation between dialects. All of the data comes from large, structured corpora of English, including COCA, COHA, GloWbE, the BNC, and Google Books (Advanced). For many different types of syntactic constructions, only very large corpora, with the right type of architecture and interface, can provide the needed data to accurately describe these types of syntactic variation.
