| Abstract | This paper highlights sociolinguistic aspects of the morphosyntactic forms in Hiberno-English (HE), focusing on some well-known features. Major concerns are to illustrate speakers' awareness of the forms based on a conducted survey and to discuss the direction of change. The evidence from the survey suggests that morphosyntactic forms in Southwest Hiberno-English (SwHE) are unevenly marked in speakers' subjective judgments of 'use', 'non-use', 'Irishness', and 'bad grammar'. For example, such forms as Taking three plates she is, I do be taking three plates. ('I usually take three plates-'), and I am after taking three plates. ('I have just taken three plates.') are mapped differently onto a sociolinguistic dimension, in which 'Irishness' and 'Standard' are two salient categories of speakers' awareness. The survey provides the data that serve for a consideration of change in SwHE. They include: diverging judgements within the same syntactic feature category (PP vs. VP fronting), the regional difference in the use of amn't I ~?, and the contrast of two tense-aspect forms, do be and be after. In the process, the formation of social meaning and the rise of metalinguistic interaction are also addressed. The paper proposes the concept of morphosyntactic conformity to explain the awareness data with regard to language change. (Verlag, adapt.). |
