More DescriptionOxford Studies in Language ContactSeries editors: Professor Suzanne Romaine, Merton College, Oxford, and Dr Peter Mülhäusler, Linacre College, OxfordThis series aims to make available a collection of research monographs which present case studies of language contact around the world. The series will consider factors which give rise to language contact and the consequences of such contact in a broad interdisciplinary context. Given the prevalence of language contact in communities throughout the world, there are as yet insufficient studies to permit typological generalization about the subject: this series aims to fill that gap.This book is the result of ten years of extensive research on Ontarian French, a dialect which has been largely ignored by linguists. It therefore complements writings on the more popular subject of Quebec French, and contributes a significant new body of data. It also makes a significant contribution to the advancement of the specialist discipline of variationist sociolinguistics.
