Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Responding to the need for a comprehensive treatment of Mexican American
English and its varied influences across multiple generations, this volume
provides true insight into how language contact triggers language change, and
illustrates previously under-recognised links to ethnolects of other migrant
groups in different parts of the world. It demonstrates how the variety begins
with Spanish interference features but evolves into a stable variety over time
by filtering out some of the interference features and responding to forces
such as exploitation of its speakers, education, and the need to develop
solidarity. A large number of linguistic variables from multiple realms of
language are analysed that provide a truly balanced picture of the divisions
within the community across a range of linguistic levels such as syntax,
phonology, prosody, accent, dialect, and sociolinguistics.
