  • Summary

    This chapter interrogates corpus data to analyze the three alternations subject to study in this book one by one using a battery of state-of-the-art analysis techniques in addition to customary descriptive statistics, Conditional Random Forest (CRF) modeling and mixed-effects logistic regression analysis. The goal of the chapter is to uncover qualitative generalizations: for example, we see that while effect directions of constraints on variation are generally stable across varieties of English, effects strengths can be significantly different.
