Inversion in Modern Written English - Syntactic Complexity, Information Status and the Creative Writer

The term "Estuary Englich" (EE) was coined by David Rosewarne in 1984. According to Rosewarne, EE ist a phonetically and socially intermediate accent on the south-eastern accent continuum between Cockney and RP.
This book is such a systematic study aiming at describing and explaining EE. It also contains a section exploring possible explanations - both socio-historical ab system-internal - for the rise and shape of the sociolinguistic situation in south-eastern England today.
