商品簡介
Most extraterritorial varieties of English stem historically from dialects in southern England--always the most densely populated part of the country--but those dialects are the least studied from a dialectical or a sociolinguistic perspective. Linguists begin that task, taking advantage of the new big data that allows them to compare chronological and geographical varieties. Among their topics are the dialect of the Isles of Scilly: exploring the relationship between language production and language perception in a southern insular variety, the clergyman and the dialect speaker: some Sussex examples of a 19th-century research tradition, emphatic "yes" and "no" in eastern English : jearse and dow, steps toward characterizing Bristolian, and the historical geographical distribution of periphrastic do in southern dialects.
