What is the explanation for the nature, character and evolution of
the many different varieties of English in the world today? Which
changes in the English language are the legacy of its origins and
which are the product of novel influences in the places to which it
was transported? Roots of English is a groundbreaking investigation
into four dialects from parts of northern Britain out of which came
the founding populations of many regions in other parts of the
world. Sali Tagliamonte comprehensively describes and analyses the
key features of the dialects and their implications for subsequent
developments of English. Her examination of dialect features
contributes substantive evidence for assessing and understanding
bigger issues in sociolinguistic theory. Based on exciting new
findings, the book will appeal to those interested in dialects,
from the Anglophile to the syntactician.
