| Award/Grant Description |
The project will study a particular feature of grammatical expression (the means of expressing cause with the verbs HAVE, GET, LET, and MAKE) in Singaporean and Malaysian English, with the aims of establishing whether the feature may vary between the two dialects, and if so, to explain such variation. The explanation will be related to previous hypotheses which have accounted for differences between native speakers and second-language speakers by proposing different routes of acquisition of the language. A number of other factors will be taken into account, such as the influence of contact languages in the region (e.g. Malay, and various dialects of Chinese). The results are expected to contribute to knowledge about language variation and change in second language varieties, viewed from the perspective of variation in the method of acquisition.
