Abstract:

This textbook is the only one of its kind to introduce the study of Canadian
English in the context of basic concepts of linguistics and sociolinguistics.
The book provides foundational information on linguistic principles and on the
different branches of sociolinguistics, ranging from the large-scale ‘macro’
study of language usage (the sociology of language, dialect surveys) to the
‘micro’ study of language use (sociophonetics, sociolinguistic variation and
change). Each chapter highlights the different ways of collecting and
analyzing data, including census data and historical texts, surveys and
questionnaires, publically available corpora, and interviews. Mini-projects at
the end of each chapter offer hands-on experience with the methods presented
in the chapter. In addition to discussing the classic works in the study of
Canadian English, this book engages with such contemporary issues as
new-dialect formation, language and social identity, and ongoing language
change, making it key reading for students taking courses in the areas of
Canadian English, varieties of English, language variation, and
sociolinguistics.
