The Celtic Englishes II & III

Edited by Hildegard L. C. Tristram.

45 papers from the Second and Third International Colloquiums on the "Celtic Englishes" (Potsdam 1998/2001) explore theoretical approaches of Language Contact, attesting both to the great sociocultural similarities and systems-linguistic differences of Englishes and their Celtic varieties, and address linguistic variation in the Celtic Englishes in correlation with other academic disciplines. - CELTIC ENGLISHES II: 22 contributions from the Second Colloquium on the Celtic Englishes, held at the University of Potsdam from 23.-27. Sept. 1998, explore theoretical approaches to the study of the Celtic Englishes including the so-called 'layer-cake-model' (substratum theory), 'half-eaten-triflemodel' of blurred dialect boundaries, prototype theory, corpus studies and quantification as well as sociolinguistic networks. The Englishes analysed represent all major Celtic varieties from Australia to America. The volume attests both to their great sociocultural similarities and systems-linguistic differences. - From the Table of Contents: Hildegard L. C.
