Focusing on minority language varieties among French Canadians, this study makes significant research on Acadian French accessible to English-speaking audiences. It examines the evolution and history of these dialects, appealing to sociolinguists interested in grammatical variation and dialectologists comparing related language forms. Ruth King delves into the preservation of verbal morphology, the spread of grammatical changes, and the interplay between discourse and grammar, making it a valuable resource for specialists in various North American dialects and language contact studies.
