The present volume tries to answer the question: What constrains morphosyntactic variation? By analyzing the variable agreement of presentational haber (´there to be`) in Caribbean Spanish with advanced statistical tools and theoretical constructs of Cognitive Sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and variationist sociolinguistics, it proposes an innovative theoretical model of the constraints that govern morphosyntactic variation.
