En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the impact of large-scale Scandinavian immigration, this seminar paper explores how English in specific U.S. regions may have been influenced by the settlers' native languages. It examines the interplay between language varieties, contact, and bilingualism, aiming to identify traces of linguistic interference and its effects on the local English dialects. The study provides insights into the dynamics of language evolution in multicultural contexts within the United States.
