About the Book

Nonstandard varieties of languages have recently become an object of new interest in scholarly research. This is very much due to the advances in the methods used in data collection and analysis, as well as the emergence of new language-theoretical frameworks. The articles in this volume stem from the 11th International Conference on Methods in Dialectology (Methods XI, August 2002, Joensuu). The theme for this conference was “Dialects across borders”. The selection of contributions included in this volume demonstrates how various kinds of borders exert major influence on linguistic behaviour all over the world. The articles have been grouped according to whether they deal primarily with the linguistic outcomes of political and historical borders between states (Part I); various kinds of social and regional boundaries, including borders in a metaphorical sense, i.e. social barriers and mental or cognitive boundaries (Part II); and finally, boundaries between languages (Part III).

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction; 2. PART I: Dialects across political and historical borders; 3. The construction of linguistic borders and the linguistic construction of borders (by Auer, Peter); 4. Static spatial relations in German and Romance: Towards a cognitive dialectology of posture verbs and locative adverbials (by Berthele, Raphael); 5. Ingressive particles across borders: Gender and discourse parallels across the North Atlantic (by Clarke, Sandra); 6. On the development of the consonant system in Mennonite Low German (Plautdietsch) (by Naiditch, Larissa); 7. English dialects in the British Isles in cross-variety perspective: A base-line for future research (by Tagliamonte, Sali A.); 8. PART II: Dialects across social and regional borders; 9. Dialects across internal frontiers: Some cognitive boundaries (by Preston, Dennis R.); 10. On 'dative sickness' and other linguistic diseases in modern Icelandic (by Fridriksson, Finnur); 11. Can we find more variety in variation? (by Macaulay, Ronald K.S.); 12. Pronunciation of /ei/ in avant-garde Dutch: A cross-sex acoustic study (by Heuven, Vincent J. van); 13. A tale of two dialects: Relativization in Newcastle and Sheffield (by Beal, Joan C.); 14. PART III: Dialects across language boundaries; 15. Crossing grammatical borders: Tracing the path of contact-induced linguistic change (by King, Ruth); 16. The after-perfect in Irish English (by Ronan, Patricia); 17. Dialect history in black and white: Are two colors enough? (by Dillard, J.L.); 18. Index of languages and dialects; 19. Subject index

Review :
When languages are carried across borders of various kinds – social, regional, national and multinational – they undergo surprising accommodations. This book looks at some of the ways they adapt through case studies from Iceland, Finland, the Netherlands, Ireland, the British Isles, the European Common Market, and North America. Together, these insightful studies bear witness to the resilience and resourcefulness of our languages, and to the people who use them.
