Description
In this joint project with Theresa Neumaier (TU Dortmund University), we investigate the hitherto underresearched variety of English in Madeira. Our main foci are:
the history of English in Madeira (which is characterised by intense contact with England),
the effects of language contact between English and (Madeiran) Portuguese,
the role of tourism in the development of English in Madeira.
Research output (all in cooperation w/ Theresa Neumaier):
2025: upcoming paper in the Journal of Historical Sociolinguistics
2023: Open Access paper "English in Madeira: History and features of a lesser-known variety in the Atlantic" published in English Today (https://doi.org/10.1017/S0266078421000328) (co-authored with Asya Yurchenko)
