Samenvatting

This book is the first to present a comprehensive linguistic study of

Jersey Norman French. Drawing on a corpus of original data, it offers

historical and dialectological sketches, an assessment of language

planning on Jersey, and an account of language change in progress. It

also establishes the relevance of Jersey Norman French to the field of

language obsolescence.
