Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

This volume follows on from The Lesser-Known Varieties of English (Cambridge,
2010), by documenting a further range of varieties that have been overlooked
and understudied. It explores varieties spoken by small groups of people in
remote regions as diverse as Malta, Bermuda, the Netherlands Antilles, Brazil,
the Cook Islands, and Palau. The varieties explored are as much a part of the
big picture as major varieties and it is the intention of this collection to
spark further interest in the sociolinguistic documentation of minority
Englishes in a postcolonial world. Language endangerment is a very real factor
for the vast majority of lesser-known varieties of English, and this book aims
to highlight that documentation and archiving are key initial steps in
revitalization and reclamation efforts. This book will be of interest to
historians of English, and scholars in dialectology, language birth and death,
language contact, typology, and variation and change.
