The study will also make linguistic data on Belfast English readily available for the first time.

Belfast English and Standard English Summary

Belfast English and Standard English: Dialect Variation and Parameter Setting by Alison Henry (Professor of Communications, Professor of Communications, University of Ulster, Jordanstown, Northern Ireland)

The study of comparative syntax in closely related languages has yielded valuable insights into syntactic phenomena--for example in the study of the Romance languages--yet little comparative work has been done on English dialects. This is the first comparison of the syntax of Belfast English and Standard English, using Chomsky's "Principles and Parameters"/Minimalist framework. Alison Henry analyses various Belfast English constructions and their Standard English counterparts to gain insight into both English syntax and syntactic theory in general. In the process, she makes valuable data on Belfast English readily available for the first time.

Belfast English and Standard English Reviews

This extremely readable and well-produced book is to be commended for its clarity and lack of obfuscation...This book will be particularly useful for researchers who wish to develop interests in both linguistic theory and language variation, bridging the gulf which has for too long been a feature of the linguistic landscape. * Language in Society *
