Focusing on subordinate clauses of concession introduced by although, this paper investigates the systematic variation of clause position by inspecting three language‐internal factors (or constraints) and their stability across different varieties of the language. The three constraints are based on production (with speech making final placement more likely, due to reduced planning load), processing (with a general preference of final position), and semantics (with certain intra‐constructional relations favouring initial placement due to the iconicity principle). The strength and robustness of the constraints outlined above are tested based on spoken and written corpus data from British, Canadian, New Zealand, Nigerian, Indian, and Philippine English.

虽然英语构造多样

本文着重介绍了尽管引入的让步从句,本文通过考察三种语言内部因素(或约束)及其在不同语言种类中的稳定性来研究从句位置的系统变化。这三个约束基于生产(由于减少了计划负荷,语音使最终放置的可能性更大),处理(通常具有最终位置的偏好)和语义(由于特定性,某些内部结构关系有利于初始放置)原理)。根据英国,加拿大,新西兰,尼日利亚,印度和菲律宾英语的口语和书面语料数据,测试了上述约束的强度和健壮性。
