Speaking Canadian English: An Informal Account of the English Language in Canada

Speaking Canadian English: An Informal Account of the English Language in Canada by Mark M. Orkin
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138910422 | 290 Pages | PDF | 29.2 MB

What do English-speaking Canadians sound like and why? Can you tell the difference between a Canadian and an American? A Canadian and an Englishman? If so, how? Linguistically speaking is Canada a colony of Britain or a satellite of the United States? Is there a Canadian language?

Speaking Canadian English, first published in 1971, in a non-technical way, describes English as it is spoken in Canada – its vocabulary, pronunciation, syntax, grammar, spelling, slang. This title comments on the history of Canadian English – how it came to sound the way it does – and attempts to predict what will happen to it in the future. This book will be of interest to students of linguistics.
