The aim of this project is to develop and test a new theory of variation and change in syntactic complexity, building on Trudgill’s (2011) theory of sociolinguistic typology and on the general architectural assumptions of Minimalist syntax.
Trudgill (2011) makes the case that the distribution of simplicity and complexity across the world’s languages is related to the historical circumstances involved, with intense short-term contact involving extensive adult second language acquisition leading t…
