Linguistic Consequences of Language Contact and Restriction
Author: Raymond Mougeon
Publisher: Oxford : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This study of minority languages documents the linguistic consequences of contact and restriction. First providing sociohistorical and sociolinguistic backgrounds, the book analyzes the effect contact with English and language-use restriction has had on the evolution of the French dialect spoken in predominately English-speaking Ontario, Canada. Addressing such fundamental theoretical issues as the interplay between linguistic and extralinguistic causes of structural change and the mechanisms of linguistic change in bilingual communities, this work will appeal to linguists interested in language contact and linguistic change.
