During this era, a standard form of English was taught in the British provinces just as it was increasingly exported from the British Isles to colonial outposts in North America, the Caribbean, South Asia, Oceania, and West Africa. Under these conditions, a monolingual politics of Standard English came to obscure other forms of multilingual and dialect writing, forms of writing that were made to appear as inferior, provincial, or foreign oddities. Daniel DeWispelare's Multilingual Subjects at once documents how different varieties of English became sidelined as "dialects" and asserts the importance of both multilingualism and dialect writing to eighteenth-century anglophone culture. By looking at the lives of a variety of multilingual and nonstandard speakers and writers who have rarely been discussed together-individuals ranging from slaves and indentured servants to translators, rural dialect speakers, and others-DeWispelare suggests that these language practices were tremendously valuable to the development of anglophone literary aesthetics even as Standard English became dominant throughout the ever-expanding English-speaking world. 650 0 $a English language $x History $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a English language $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Multilingualism $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a English language $x History $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Sociolinguistics $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a English language $z English-speaking countries $x History $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a English language $x History $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Language policy $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x History $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Translating and interpreting $z English-speaking countries $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a English language $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911524 650 7 $a English language $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911649 650 7 $a English language $x Standardization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911667 650 7 $a English language $x Variation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911928 650 7 $a Language and languages $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992193 650 7 $a Language policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992402 650 7 $a Multilingualism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028907 650 7 $a Sociolinguistics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123847 650 7 $a Translating and interpreting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01154795 651 7 $a English-speaking countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01261775 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706035519.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F01BA26475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
