Creating Canadian English

The Professor, the Mountaineer, and a National Variety of English

Beschreibung

This lively account of the making of Canadian English traces the variety's conceptual, social and linguistic developments from the twentieth century to the present. Revealing the hard work, persistence and sheer luck required in codifying a standard variety, this archive-based book highlights both long-forgotten linguists and linguistic fashions alike.
