This book explores noun phrase complexity in English, showing that it is best accounted for both by a linear and a hierarchical parameter: its length and its type of postmodifier(s). The study is methodologically unique in that it combines univariate and multivariate analyses in an investigation of four different syntactic variables. Drawing on more than three billion words of British and American data, Eva Berlage shows that the length and the structure of the NPs, along with language-external factors such as the regional variety of English, work as powerful determinants of the variation. On a theoretical level, the book reveals that the structural complexity of NPs cannot be sufficiently captured by (phrasal) node counts but that we need to incorporate the degree to which NPs are sentential. The book is designed for researchers and students interested in syntax, language variation, sociolinguistics, structural complexity and the history of English.

This paper presents the Staff Country Report on St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This Statistical Appendix for St. Vincent and the Grenadines was prepared by a staff team of the IMF as background documentation for the periodic consultation with the member country. It is based on the information available at the time it was completed on December 8, 2006. The views expressed in this document are those of the staff team and do not necessarily reflect the views of the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines or the Executive Board of the IMF. The policy of publication of staff reports and other documents by the IMF allows for the deletion of market-sensitive information.
