Dialects are constantly changing, and due to increased mobility in
more recent years, European dialects have 'levelled', making it
difficult to distinguish a native of Reading from a native of
London, or a native of Bonn from a native of Cologne. This
comprehensive study brings together a team of leading scholars to
explore all aspects of recent dialect change, in particular dialect
convergence and divergence. Drawing on examples from a wide range
of European countries - as well as areas where European languages
have been transplanted - they examine a range of issues relating to
dialect contact and isolation, and show how sociolinguistic
conditions differ hugely between and within European countries.
Each specially commissioned chapter is based on original research,
giving an overview of work on that particular area and presenting
case studies to illustrate the issues discussed. Dialect Change
will be welcomed by all those interested in sociolinguistics,
dialectology, the relevance of language variation to formal
linguistic theories, and European languages.
