Abstract:

Varieties of English in the U.S. and Canada display fascinating developments
from colonial times up until the twenty-first century. To throw light on the
linguistics of North American Englishes and their socio-historical contexts,
this volume brings together research from various traditions, including corpus
linguistics, variation studies, dialectology, historical sociolinguistics,
historical pragmatics, language ideology, and the enregisterment framework. In
the ten chapters of the volume, a wide variety of sources, published and
unpublished, containing evidence of past language use in the U.S. and Canada
are introduced and exploited for novel insights. Among the research questions
addressed are the following: how to best model the emergence of new varieties
of English in North America? Are morphological Americanisms historical
retentions, post-colonial revivals, or progressive innovations? What is
distinctly Canadian in the context of North American Englishes? How can
synchronic dialects be used to examine trajectories of change in the history
of Canadian English?
