Produktbeschreibung
Canadian English is a unique, living organism deeply
affected by grandiose varieties of English and other
languages as well as a huge array of sociolinguistic
and economic factors. Based on the thorough studies
of distinguished linguists, this thesis aims to
reflect on the evolution of Canadian English, and
seeks to give a description of this variety from a
phonological, morphosyntactical and lexical point of
view by comparing it to the British and American
varieties of English and presenting several of its
dialects to the readers.
Although very little study has been done on this more
or less independent and exclusive version of English
and it is still awaiting exploration, it is
endangered by the aggressive processes of
globalization and the loss of certain individual
traits, regional varieties and underlying cultural
values can be foreseen.
This book is meant to document Canadian English thus
preserving as much of it as possible, and to help
those studying Canadian English to gain easy access
to this field of academic research.
