So Sue you think it's just the Have auxiliary + infinitive that has changed?
No - I'm sure that a lot of other things have changed too - but there are only a few examples in the article, and that's the only clear rule to emerge from those examples. You would need an entire corpus in order to work out all the other rules. If anyone is currently in Cameroon and thinking of doing an MA or PhD in Applied Linguistics, there's a great thesis topic there!
