Abstract:

"Bermudian English. A sociohistorical and linguistic profile" focuses on a
hitherto severely under-researched variety of English. The book traces the
origins and development of Bermudian English, so as to situate the variety
within the canon of other lesser-known varieties of English, and provides a
first in-depth description of its variable morphosyntactic structure. Relying
on sociolinguistic interview data and combining qualitative, typological and
quantitative, variationist analyses of selected morphosyntactic features, it
sheds light on structural affiliations of Bermudian English and argues for a
two-way transfer pattern where Bermudian English plays an important role in
the development of a number of other English(-based) varieties in the wider
geographical region. Complementing existing studies which document such
varieties, this book contributes to the body of research that describes the
diversity of English(-based) varieties around the globe, filling a notable
gap.
