Influence of Liverpool Welsh on Lenition in Liverpool English
Influence of Liverpool Welsh on Lenition in Liverpool English Hannah Paton The purpose of this research was to provide evidence for the Welsh language having an influence on the Liverpool accent with a specific focus on the lenition and aspiration of voiceless plosives. Lenition and aspiration of the speech of participants from Liverpool and North Wales were determined using an acoustic software. The data suggested lenition did occur in the speech of the Welsh participants. However, lenition seemed to be trending amongst people in Liverpool as plosives were lenited a stage further than previous research suggests. Conclusions may be drawn to highlight an influence of the Welsh language on lenition in Liverpool. Keywords: lenition, Liverpool, sociophonetics, Wales, Welsh language 1 Introduction The use of aspirated voiceless plosives is a common feature in British accents of English (Ashby & Maidment 2005). However, the aspiration of voiceless plosives in a word-final position is normally not audible and if it is medial, it takes on the characteristics of other syllables in the word (Roach, 2000). Some accents of English exaggerate the aspiration of the voiceless plosives /p, t, k/ although this is not generally found in most Northern English accents of English (Wells 1982). There are only two English accents of English that have been found to do this through previous research. These are London and Liverpool English (Trudgill, Hughes & Watt 2005). Due to the influence of London English on Estuary English, this feature can be heard in the South West of England. Most accents of English that do have this feature have some interference from another language that heavily aspirates voiceless plosives such as Irish, Welsh, Singaporean or African-American English (Wells, 1982).

History of English and French Languages in Mauritius: a Study in Language and Power
History of English and French languages in Mauritius: A study in language and power Satish Kumar Mahadeo Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities, University of Mauritius, Reduit Mauritius ABSTRACT It is widely believed that a comparison between the British and French empires reveals a fundamental difference in their language policies. The justification for this contention seems to be that the French were more singleminded in the prosecution of their language, more conscious of a ‘civilizing mission’, more intolerant of the use of indigenous languages at any stage in education, and more effective in educating black men (and far fewer women) to speak the metropolitan language beautifully. Although this is a very selective over-simplification of the issues involved, the language situation in Mauritius, which was subjected both to English and French influence, shows how the overall goals of the colonial powers, which had slightly different education policies, tended to be in identical terms. In both empires, education served the interests of the colonizing power, and large areas of social life were unaffected by colonial education and linguistic policies. Even if the French organized education exclusively through the medium of French in Africa, the proportion of the population involved was minute, and only slightly larger in British Africa. The example of Mauritius will illustrate this. Introduction The overall goals of the colonial powers were conceived differently, the French aiming at la France outré-mer and ultimate union with metropolitan France, the British accepting the principle of trusteeship, leading ultimately to self-government and independence. Whether these variants were experienced differently by colonial subjects, or have had different major long-term effects of a structural or ideological kind is doubtful.

The Loyalist Origins of Canada's Identity Crisis
Condemned to Rootlessness: The Loyalist Origins of Canada's Identity Crisis Introduction In the view of the English-speaking Canadian media, Canada has an identity crisis, a situation attributable to divisions within the Canadian body politic that are regularly expressed in constitutional bickering between Quebec and the Rest of Canada and between the provinces and the federal government.1 Yet the identity crisis in the lifeworld of the average English-Canadian appears to possess a somewhat different quality. The following statement from Rod Lamirand, a resident of Surrey, B.C., expresses the subjectivity of this existential unease with remarkable accuracy: 'We [our family] were isolated, self-sufficient, cut off from a close community and from our pasts...Our family was not drawn into a neighborhood of friends because of a shared difference from mainstream society. We didn't have a name for the cultural majority because for the most part they were us. We were part of the dominant cultural society and we had no real culture. The great wash of pale European blood that saturated this continent was uniform in color only. Much of what survived is a hodgepodge of eclectic, meaningless routines...We were the product of white bread and instant coffee, Hollywood and the CBC....'2 (emphasis added) The connection between the Canadian identity crisis mentioned in the English-Canadian media and Lamirand's statement might appear distant. Surely, one might ask, the latter reflects a problem that should be labeled 'English-Canadian' rather than 'Canadian.' It is the position of this paper, however, that the discourses of English-Canadian and Canadian identity are inextricably bound.

The Ideology of American English As Standard English in Taiwan
Arab World English Journal (AWEJ) Volume.7 Number.4 December, 2016 Pp. 80 - 96 The Ideology of American English as Standard English in Taiwan Jackie Chang English Department, National Pingtung University Pingtung City, Taiwan Abstract English language teaching and learning in Taiwan usually refers to American English teaching and learning. Taiwan views American English as Standard English. This is a strictly perceptual and ideological issue, as attested in the language school promotional materials that comprise the research data. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was employed to analyze data drawn from language school promotional materials. The results indicate that American English as Standard English (AESE) ideology is prevalent in Taiwan. American English is viewed as correct, superior and the proper English language version for Taiwanese people to compete globally. As a result, Taiwanese English language learners regard native English speakers with an American accent as having the greatest prestige and as model teachers deserving emulation. This ideology has resulted in racial and linguistic inequalities in contemporary Taiwanese society. AESE gives Taiwanese learners a restricted knowledge of English and its underlying culture. It is apparent that many Taiwanese people need tore-examine their taken-for-granted beliefs about AESE. Keywords: American English as Standard English (AESE),Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), ideology, inequalities 80 Arab World English Journal (AWEJ) Vol.7. No. 4 December 2016 The Ideology of American English as Standard English in Taiwan Chang Introduction It is an undeniable fact that English has become the global lingua franca. However, as far as English teaching and learning are concerned, there is a prevailing belief that the world should be learning not just any English variety but rather what is termed Standard English.

International Intelligibility in World Englishes: Focusing on Idiomatic Expressions
Intercultural Communication Studies XVII: 4 2008 Yoshikawa International Intelligibility in World Englishes: Focusing on Idiomatic Expressions Hiroshi Yoshikawa, Chukyo University There are many new English varieties taking root in different cultures in the world. People now use their own English as a tool of international communication. The issue of international intelligibility has to be discussed from the viewpoint of an international perspective. For the purposes of teaching English to Japanese who use English as a foreign language, the idiomatic expressions of traditional Englishes and newborn English varieties are interesting, but pragmatically difficult to understand and use. Some approach to ease the difficulty with pragmatic usage of the idiomatic expressions should be investigated. This paper proposes a teaching and learning strategy to a semantic domain focusing on idiomatic expressions in order to secure an international intelligibility1. Nowadays, there are many varieties of English in the world. The concept that each variety has to be maintained is supported, because each variety is one of the symbols which show the identity of its speakers. However, if the differences among the varieties are increased it can be predicted that a discrepancy will occur in the mutual understanding among the speakers of English varieties. Latin was diversely changed into French, Italian, Spanish, and so on, then the mutual intelligibility between them vanished. It cannot be denied that English may follow the same path. An international intelligibility is a matter of importance in the discussion of World Englishes. The indication or discovery of common denominators and learning strategies which can be applied to bridge the diversity among English varieties in phonological, syntactic, and semantic domains can provide a contribution toward the establishment of increased international intelligibility.

Caribbean English As a Challenge to Lexicography
Richard Allsopp CARIBBEAN ENGLISH AS A CHALLENGE TO LEXICOGRAPHY Introduction Almost as soon as the English throne finally broke with Catholicism, with the accession of Elizabeth I, one of her seamen, John Hawkins, sometime treasurer of her Royal Navy, began slave trading in defiance of Spain, and, in 1562, "got into his possession" at Sierra Leona (sic, from Hakluyt as cited in Payne 1907:7) "the number of 300 Negros at least" and sailed to the north coast of Hispaniola (Haiti) where he "made vent of the whole number of his Negros". Buying, transporting and selling slaves took easily 9 months (the 'triangular trade' took a year); but even if the migrated Africans would not have retained many English words from the ship's crew in this first venture - which Hawkins repeated on a much more wide-ranging Caribbean scale in one of Elizabeth's own ships (the Jesus of Lubeck) in 1564/65 - it is historically true that the English language had begun making substantial thrusts from Plymouth to the West Indies and South America long before it did so to North America. It was seamen's English that brought Protestantism's'mailed fist into the rich belly of the New World, as the logical forerunner of the religious hands that guided the Mayflower to North America some half a century later in 1620. If this sounds exaggerated one need only recall that Sir Francis Drake's great plundering armada of 25 ships sailed in 1585 on what is historically known as 'Drake's West Indian Voyage', and a hazardous channel in the Virgin Islands is still known today as 'Drake's Passage'.

British Or American English?
Beteckning Department of Humanities and Social Sciences British or American English? - Attitudes, Awareness and Usage among Pupils in a Secondary School Ann-Kristin Alftberg June 2009 C-essay 15 credits English Linguistics English C Examiner: Gabriella Åhmansson, PhD Supervisor: Tore Nilsson, PhD Abstract The aim of this study is to find out which variety of English pupils in secondary school use, British or American English, if they are aware of their usage, and if there are differences between girls and boys. British English is normally the variety taught in school, but influences of American English due to exposure of different media are strong and have consequently a great impact on Swedish pupils. This study took place in a secondary school, and 33 pupils in grade 9 participated in the investigation. They filled in a questionnaire which investigated vocabulary, attitudes and awareness, and read a list of words out loud. The study showed that the pupils tend to use American English more than British English, in both vocabulary and pronunciation, and that all of the pupils mixed American and British features. A majority of the pupils had a higher preference for American English, particularly the boys, who also seemed to be more aware of which variety they use, and in general more aware of the differences between British and American English.

" Sorrow Penny Yee Payed for My Drink": Taboo, Euphemism, and A

DESCRIPTORS Diachronic Linguistics; *English; English Literature; Foreign Countries; *Irish; *Language Patterns; Language Role; Language Usage; *Negative Forms (Language); *Scots Gaelic; Uncommonly Taught Languages IDENTIFIERS Euphemism; Ireland; *Language Contact; Scotland; Taboo Terms ABSTRACT Possible origins for the use of "sorrow" as a negation in Hiberno-English are considered. Much of the evidence examined here comes from English literature. It is concluded that the uses of "sorrow" as negator and as euphemism probably reflect Celtic substrate influence. Structural evidence indicates that "sorrow" negation has grammaticalized properties similar to those for "devil" negation. Geographical and chronological evidence suggests that "sorrow" negation developed early in Scotland and that it was restricted mainly to Scotland and Ireland. Cultural evidence shows "sorrow" negation to be part of a long-standing tradition of taboo and'euphemism, one not unique to Celtic lands but certainly robust in those regions. Although several words in Irish and Scottish Gaelic are partial translation equivalents for "sorrow," only two have attested uses as negators and euphemisms for the devil: "donas" and "tubaiste." Of these, the former seems to have been an especially important word in Scotland and Ireland, 31though it may never have been a full-fledged negator in Irish.

17 World Englishes and Their Dialect Roots
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 World Englishes and their dialect roots Schreier, Daniel Abstract: This chapter investigates the persistence and development of so-called dialect roots, that is, features of local forms of British English that are transplanted to overseas territories. It discusses dialect input and the survival of features, independent developments within overseas communities, including realignments of features in the dialect inputs, as well as contact phenomena when English speakers interact with those of other dialects and languages. The diagnostic value of these roots is exemplified with selected cases from around the world (Newfoundland English, Liberian English, Caribbean Englishes), which are assessed with reference to the archaic/dynamic character of individual features in new-dialect formation and language-contact scenarios.
