Speaking Canadian English An Informal Account of the English Language in Canada
Brand: Routledge
Description
What do English-speaking Canadians sound like and why? Can you tell the difference between a Canadian and an American? A Canadian and an Englishman? If so how? Linguistically speaking is Canada a colony of Britain or a satellite of the United States? Is there a Canadian language? Speaking Canadian English first published in 1971 in a non-technical way describes English as it is spoken in Canada – its vocabulary pronunciation syntax grammar spelling slang. This title comments on the history of Canadian English – how it came to sound the way it does – and attempts to predict what will happen to it in the future. This book will be of interest to students of linguistics. | Speaking Canadian English An Informal Account of the English Language in Canada
