  2. 16. The Integration of MILLION into the English System of Number Words : A Diachronic Study

    Author : Donald MacQueen; Merja Kytö; Raymond Hickey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; number-word universals; historical corpus linguistics; variationist study; American vs British English; newspapers; grammaticalization; iconicity; gradience; English language; Engelska språket; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Abstract : This corpus-based variationist study traces the history of the English number word MILLION from its first attested use in the 14th century, focusing on the diachronic shift in function from one of heading its noun phrase (NP), as in the obsolescent (Obs) construction three millions of citizens, to one of a post-determiner of its NP head, as in Present-day English (PdE) three million citizens. The authentic historical materials used include both numerous electronic linguistic corpora and, more innovatively, very-large-scale general collections available online, especially historical newspaper collections from the US and UK comprising tens of billions of words.
