This book is the first comprehensive, research-based description of
the development, structure, and use of Welsh English, a
contact-induced variety of English spoken in the British Isles.
Present-day accents and dialects of Welsh English are the combined
outcome of historical language shift from Welsh to English,
continued bilingualism, intense contacts between Wales and England,
and multicultural immigration. As a result, Welsh English is a
distinctive, regionally and sociolinguistically diverse variety,
whose status is not easily categorized. In addition to existing
research, the present volume utilizes a wide range of spoken corpus
data gathered from across Wales in order to describe the phonology,
lexis, and grammar of the variety. It includes discussion of
sociolinguistic and cultural contexts, and of ongoing change in
Welsh English. The place that Welsh English occupies in relation to
other Englishes in the Inner and Outer Circles is also analysed.
The book is accessible to the non-specialist, but of particular use
to scholars, teachers, and students interested in English in Wales,
Britain, and the world. It provides an unparelleled resource on
this long-standing and vibrant variety.
