Abstract:

In this book, contributors have been brought together to discuss the role
of two major factors shaping the grammars of different varieties of English
(and of other languages) all over the world: so-called vernacular
universals and contact-induced change. Rather than assuming a general
typological perspective, the studies in this volume focus on putative
universal vernacular features - significant phonological or (morpho-)
syntactic parallels found in non-standard varieties of English,
English-based Creoles, and also varieties of other languages, all of which
represent widely differing sociolinguistic and historical backgrounds.
These universals are then set against the other major explanatory factor:
contact-induced change, by which we understand both the possibility of
dialect contact (or dialect diffusion) and language contact (including
superstratal, substratal and adstratal influences).

Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics

Subject Language(s): English (eng)

Written In: English (eng )

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
