A study of Newfoundland English, spoken in Canada's newest province, Newfoundland and Labrador.
This book is the first full-length volume to offer a comprehensive introduction to the English spoken in Britain''s oldest overseas colony, and, since 1949, Canada''s youngest province. Within North America, Newfoundland and Labrador English is a highly distinctive speech variety. It is known for its generally conservative nature, having retained close ties with its primary linguistic roots, the traditional speech of southwestern England and southern Ireland. It is also characterised by a high degree of regional and social variation. Over the past half century, the region has experienced substantial social, economic and cultural change. This is reflected linguistically, as younger generations of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians increasingly align themselves with ''mainland'' North American norms.
