Abstract:

Situated at the crossroads of dialectology, sociolinguistics and contact
linguistics, this volume provides a first comprehensive description of the
morphosyntactic inventory of the variety of English spoken on Jersey, the
largest of the Channel Islands. Based on a specially compiled corpus of spoken
material containing both present-day sociolinguistic and archive data, it
thereby reveals an intricate network of variation and change in this
language-shift variety. The study adopts a cross-varietal approach for its
analyses, which enables a first more systematic comparison between the
Englishes spoken on Jersey, on its sister island Guernsey and beyond. In
addition, it discusses the implications of identity aspects for language use
in Jersey. The book will therefore be of major interest to any researcher or
student working in the areas of language variation and change, language
contact or dialectology and to those interested in sociolinguistic methodology
and the relationships between language and identity.
