![]() | Speaking Canadian English: An Informal Account of the English Language in Canada Subjects: Geography; Language & Literature; Language & Linguistics; GIS Remote Sensing & Cartography; Cartography; English Language; Sociolinguistics; What do English-speaking Canadians sound like and why? Can you tell the difference between a Canadian and an American? A Canadian and an Englishman? If so, how? Linguistically speaking is Canada a colony of Britain or a satellite of the United States? Is there a Canadian language? Speaking Canadian English, first published in 1971, in a non-technical way, describes English as it is spoken in Canada - its vocabulary, pronunciation, syntax, grammar, spelling, slang. This title comments on the history of Canadian English - how it came to sound the way it does - and attempts to predict what will happen to it in the future. This book will be of interest to students of linguistics. Multivolume collection by leading authors in the field |
