WiSe 15/16: PS-Levels of Linguistic Analysis II: Varieties of English - English dialect typology
Maren Schiefke-Vogt
Comments
In this course we will examine the variation in English today. Paying
close enough attention, every speaker of English will realize that it is
very difficult to speak of "the English language", as there are many
different varieties of English that differ in various aspects. In this
class, we will compare and contrast different English varieties with each
other and consider their linguistic features, covering most areas of
linguistic description, including pronunciation, grammar, and lexicon. The
study of geographical variation raises various more general issues: How do
such differences arise? Do the differences reflect major structural
differences in the linguistic system? Do all varieties of English share
the same basic grammar?
