This book is the first full-length volume to offer a comprehensive introduction to the English spoken in Britain's oldest overseas colony, and, since 1949, Canada's youngest province. Within North America, Newfoundland and Labrador English is a highly distinctive speech variety. It is known for its generally conservative nature, having retained close ties with its primary linguistic roots, the traditional speech of southwestern England and southern Ireland. It is also characterised by a high degree of regional and social variation.
A Labrador Retriever is an adorable bundle of black, yellow, or chocolate joy. No matter what color coat she sports, her versatility and temperament make her an equally wonderful guide dog, sporting companion, or all-around family pet. She greets each member of her human pack with enthusiasm, and her genuine love and zest for life are contagious. The Lab is a faithful friend, and after spending only a moment in each other's company, you'll find yourselves hopelessly devoted to each other.
