"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"--
