    The Legacy of Colonial English Transported Dialects

    Editor Raymond Hickey, Universit�t Essen, Germany

    This book explores the role that British dialects have played in the genesis and subsequent history of extraterritorial varieties of English. How did it come about that many New World, postcolonial versions of English still reflect non-standard British usage from the distant past? Key issues covered include the relationship between dialect input and innovation; the extension of dialect influence; the interaction between British dialects and indigenous languages; the influence of the social position of immigrant speakers of dialects; and the relationship of older forms of overseas Englishes to later New Englishes.
