{"product_id":"a-tale-of-two-dialect-andrzs-sherriah-9783961101566","title":"A tale of two dialect regions","description":"This book traces the precise origin of the early English lexical and lexico-phonetic influences in Sranan, an English-based creole spoken in Suriname. Sranan contains \"fossilised\" linguistic remnants of an early English colonial period. The book discusses whether Sranan's English influence(s) originated from a single dialect from the general London area, as proposed by Norval Smith in 1987, or whether we are dealing with a composite of dialectal features from all over England. The book introduces a novel replicable methodology for linguistic reconstructions, which combines statistics (in the form of binomial probability), English dialect geography (via use of Orton's et. al., 1962-1971, Survey of English Dialects, which focuses on traditional regional English dialects across England and Wales), and 17th-century English migration history (compiled from The Complete Book of Emigrants: 1607-1660, The Bristol Registers of Servants Sent to Foreign Plantations, 1654-1686, Virtual Jamestown, Virginia Center for Digital History, and Colonial State Papers secured from the British History Online databases, among other relevant historical sources).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Sherriah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3961101566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783961101566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Language Science Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.44d","brand":"André Sherriah","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46747682570495,"sku":"9783961101566","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3822e2aa-b6bd-4977-9b82-d93318780610.jpg?v=1743584424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-tale-of-two-dialect-andrzs-sherriah-9783961101566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
