Dialect Change: Convergence and Divergence in European Languages Book

Dialects are constantly changing, and due to increased mobility in recent years, European dialects have 'levelled', making it difficult to distinguish a native of Reading from a native of London, or a native of Bonn from a native of Cologne. This book brings together a team of leading scholars to discuss all aspects of recent dialect change, in particular dialect convergence and divergence. Each specially-commissioned chapter is based on original research, giving an overview of current work on the particular issue and presenting case studies to illustrate the points raised.Read More
