Book Synopsis Vernacular Universals and Language Contacts by : Markku Filppula
Book excerpt: Non-standard varieties of English all over the world share a striking number of grammatical features which are hard to explain because of the widely differing sociolinguistic and historical backgrounds of these varieties. Contributors to this book discuss two major factors behind the shared features: vernacular universals and contact-induced change.
