Sandra Clarke is Professor Emerita of Linguistics at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Her research over the past twenty-five years has focused on Newfoundland and Canadian English, largely within a sociolinguistic and socio-historical framework. She has published extensively on language variation and change in Newfoundland English, as well as in the indigenous Algonquian varieties spoken in Labrador.
In summary, this book is a paramount example of its genre. Above all, it is testimony to Clarke's trademark attention to detail. In this volume she has carefully weighed a tremendous amount of material and has presented it with clarity and concision. Clarke is the expert on the sociolinguistics of English in Newfoundland and Labrador; this fact resonates on every page of the volume.--Alexandra D'Arcy, University of Victoria "English Worldwide "
