  abstract  = {The volumes in the present series deal with "The Celtic Englishes" and explore the linguistic outcome of the (historical as well as contemporary) contact between the English language and the indigenous languages of the British Isles and Ireland, i.e. the Insular Celtic languages such as Irish (Gaelic), Scottish Gaelic, Manx (Gaelic), Welsh, Cornish and, by extension, Breton. These form the native languages of the so-called "inner colonies" of England (Hechter) and provided the basis for the rise of the "Celtic Englishes" during and after the shift of the population from their Celitc source languages to English as their target language over a number of centuries. The "Celtic Englishes" were also transported to the "outer colonies," notably to North America (USA and Canada), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and, by Irish missionary activities in the 19th and 20th c., West Africa. The contributions to this series of volumes explore the different types of the "Celtic Englishes" from various linguitic perspectives (phonological, grammatical, lexical; synchronic, diachronic; diastratic; etc.). The methodologies used also vary between traditional dialectological approaches, philology, structuralism, functional linguistics, corpus analysis, typology and universal grammar. Because of its advanced analycity, the typological separation of Middle English from the other Germanic languages is also explored and the question raised whether the English language as such does not have to be considered as the outcome of language contact between the native Britons, who spoke varieties of the Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages and who shifted to English during the three or four centuries after the Anglo-Saxon Conquest. Volume four is to appear in 2006. See: http://www.celtic-englishes.de/},
