- W4379515039 abstract "The first clear orthographic signs of negative contraction in English (e.g. is not > isn’t) go back to the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century. In the following centuries, such reduced forms were openly criticized in grammars and spelling books as being improper, vulgar, colloquial, inelegant, barbarous, harsh and even ungrammatical, especially in writing, except for poetic use. In spite of this “war upon contractions” (Leonard 1929: 170), however, the Late Modern English period witnessed a considerable increase in the use of contracted forms in published material, an expansion which has continued to the present day. The aim of this chapter is to examine the role that different factors played in the selection of negative contractions and their uncontracted counterparts in eighteenth, nineteenth and twentiethcentury written English. For our purposes, data have been drawn from A Representative Corpus of Historical English Registers (ARCHER). The selection of contracted and uncontracted negatives in Late Modern English and twentieth-century English is taken here to be the result of the interplay of promoting and inhibiting forces of various kinds, involving both intralinguistic (structural and semantic) determinants of variation together with extralinguistic factors, such as register and dialect. In an attempt to corroborate or refute the null hypothesis ‘negative contraction is not conditioned by the variables considered in this investigation’, a multivariate analysis will identify the list of variables with greater explanatory power within the model." @default.
