Dialect Emergence in Waumandee English, Paperback / softback Book

Dialect Emergence in Waumandee English Paperback / softback

Part of the New German-American Studies/Neue Deutsch-Amerikanische Studien series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book examines how a new dialect emerges. It is based on empirical research carried out in Waumandee, Wisconsin, a small community set in a linguistically uncharted territory in North America.

Waumandee English is influenced by the native languages of settlers who arrived from different parts of Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Poland, Austria and Ireland.

Traditional dialectology augmented by sociolinguistic and psychological parameters enables the reader to follow the path of current dialect emergence in Waumandee English.
