Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, course: Construction Grammar, language: English, abstract: Diese Hausarbeit wurde im Rahmen des Seminars "Construction Grammar" angefertigt.
In her studies on comparative formation Britta Mondorf shows that Americans most often use analytic comparatives whereas the British prefer the synthetic form of com-parison. Because of her results, studying the comparative formation in Canada - an American nation which was part of the British colonial system - is of great linguistic interest. The following analysis examines the comparative formation in American, British, and Canadian English for that reason. The study expects Canadian native speakers to use analytic comparatives more often than British natives, but fewer than Americans. Filtered data from BNC, COCA, the Strathy Corpus of Canadian English and Google searches corroborate this hypothesis.
