Grammatical Variation and Change in Jersey English

What is it about?

Situated at the crossroads of dialectology, sociolingustics and contact linguistics, this volume provides a first comprehensive description of the grammatical inventory of the English variety spoken on Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands. The study reveals an intricate network of variation and change in this language-shift variety and discusses implications of identity aspects for language use in Jersey. The book will therefore be of major interest to any researcher or student working in the areas of language variation and change, language contact and to those interested in sociolinguistic methodology and the relationships between language and identity.
