This book delves into Benjamin Franklin’s English, illustrating the variable nature of 18th-century American English and his stylistic manipulation of the potentiality of English. Utilizing corpus methodologies, it offers researchers in historical sociolinguistics unique insights.Benjamin Franklin is one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and while his achievements have been well established in the history of America, his linguistic activities have been explored only to a lesser extent. Iyeiri examines his letters and autobiography, which provide linguists with opportunities to study his language. The book is structured using the ‘form-to-function’ framework. The first part focuses on different lexical items one by one, and it can be read in the order readers want, whilst in the second part, Iyeiri stitches the arguments together, discussing various grammatical features across different lexical items.This book is a fantastic reference for students and scholars of historical linguistics, varieties of English, and World Englishes.

See below for English description.Benjamin aime la pluie. Il adore patauger dans les flaques avec ses bottes jaune vif et regarder les couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel dans l'eau qui ondule sous ses pieds. Mais surtout, Benjamin adore le tonnerre. Pour lui, le tonnerre - piy siwak - ressemble au bruit que fait le tambour de son grand-p re. Cette musique l'interpelle, comme les chansons que joue son grand-p re pendant que son p re et d'autres danseurs de pow-wow tournent et bougent au rythme du tambour. Alors que Benjamin entend le tonnerre gronder au-dessus de sa t te, il s'imagine tre un danseur de pow-wow. Il tourne, tape des pieds et l ve les genoux. Il virevolte de plus en plus vite, ravi et empli du rythme du piy siwak. Cette histoire, crite par la talentueuse autrice prim e Melanie Florence, c l bre la fois les joies de jouer sous la pluie et les liens avec les traditions familiales qui nous centrent et nous enracinent. Des l ments de la culture du pow-wow cri et des mots cris pour d signer les couleurs et le temps qu'il fait sont int gr s l'histoire, avec un guide de prononciation. Les illustrations vibrantes et accrocheuses de Hawlii Pichette, inspir es par les paysages du nord de l'Ontario, ajoutent l'int r t de ce livre. Cet album illustr attrayant constitue une lecture parfaite pour les journ es pluvieuses, ainsi qu'une excellente introduction aux traditions culturelles cries, aux communaut s locales et la d couverte de la nature.Benjamin loves the rain. He loves splashing through puddles in his bright yellow rain boots and watching the colours of a rainbow in the water as they ripple around his feet. But most of all, Benjamin loves thunder. To him, thunder -- piy siwak -- sounds like his grandfather's drum. It calls to him, like the songs his grandfather plays while his father and other powwow dancers spin and step in time to the drumbeat. As Benjamin hears the thunder rumble overhead, he imagines himself as a powwow dancer. He spins, he taps his feet and he lifts his knees. Faster and faster he twirls, delighted by and filled with the rhythm of piy siwak. This artfully written story from award-winning author Melanie Florence celebrates both the universal joys of playing in the rain and the connections to family traditions that centre and ground us. Elements of Cree powwow culture and Cree words for colours and weather are interwoven into the story, with a pronunciation guide in the back matter. The vibrant and eye-catching art by Hawlii Pichette, inspired by the scenery of northern Ontario, adds drama to the pages. Original title: Benjamin's Thunderstorm
