This collection consists of 15 articles by an international group
of linguists and 7 essays by the editors, tackling a broad range of
issues and representing some of the most authoritative work in
English dialect grammar.Individual chapters cover the full
international range of English dialects, from the centre of Sydney
to the shores of Newfoundland, and from the Scottish borders to the
Appalachian Mountains. Soundly based on empirical research, they
are rich in data of great interest in itself, but no article is
merely descriptive. The editors have selected papers for their
value in contributing to the reader's broader understanding of the
theoretical issues concerning dialectology as a whole. As a result,
dialectology is presented as a major scholarly discipline drawing
creatively on such areas as linguistics, sociology, psychology,
history, geography and even philosophy. These and other themes are
explored in a wide-ranging Introduction by the editors, which sets
the individual pieces and the subject in context for the reader.
