Book Synopsis The Phonology of Pennsylvania German English as Evidence of Language Maintenance and Shift by : Achim Kopp
Book excerpt: "The phonological differences found in the informants' varieties of English are reflected in the differences in the areas of language use and language attitude. In the final chapter, findings gained from the study of the latter two areas are used to suggest an explanation of the "Pennsylvania German paradox." An attempt is made to integrate the phonological findings into a larger theory of language change and to make predictions about future linguistic developments."--BOOK JACKET.
