The main concern of the study is an examination of the variety of English spoken in Guernsey on the basis of interviews with 40 selected informants. The analysis includes grammatical, phonological and lexical features, and discusses the influence of other varieties of English and of the local Norman French dialect (Guernesiais).engEnglish in the Channel Islandsthe sociolinguistic situation in Guernseylanguage contact in the Channel Islandsthe variation of English in GuernseyNorman French in the Channel IslandsGrammatical, phonological and lexical features in Guernsey English420doctoralthesisurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-521501
