Abstract:

The intention of the present volume is to unite the research of a range of
scholars who have been working on features of non-standard, vernacular English
which show an areal distribution, i.e. which cluster geographically across the
world. Features common to an area can be due to (i) shared dialect input, (ii)
common but separate innovations after settlement, or (iii) area-internal
diffusion from one variety to another and/or others. The relative weighting of
these factors is an important topic in the book and is a key focus in the 17
chapters.

The book is divided into two large blocks, the first one consisting of case
studies (8 chapters) and the second with features complexes (9 chapters). The
former look at major anglophone locations from an areal perspective while the
latter examine linguistic categories and features with a view to determine
whether these could be areally based or not.
