This book explores a dialect contact situation in a second language
setting - native speakers of English coming to Japan from different
parts of the world as English teachers. It focuses on an Anglophone
community in which speakers are socially and geographically mobile
and have loose-knit networks with speakers of different languages
and dialects. This longitudinal sociolinguistic study aims to
investigate the relatively short-term linguistic changes induced by
frequent face-to-face interaction with speakers of different
dialects and to illustrate the impact of social network effects.
Statistical analyses reveal that the individual speakers'
interpersonal ties are important factors that influence the
linguistic behaviour of the speakers in a dialect contact situation
in an L2 setting.
