A critique of Chapter 3

A critique of the chapter 3, “Some Inland Enclaves” of “Canadian English”　Akinori
The author, J.K.Chambers mentioned the importance of three inland dialects, such as Montreal, Ottawa and the Red River in “the indications are that a linguistic atlas of Canada would be a worthwhile and almost necessary complement to a dictionary of Canadian English.”
Hence, regarding what I have read in this chapter, one thing I can say is that Americanism has greatly influenced these dialects, forming their variety. Additionally, needless to say, other aspects, such as French and native languages also played roles to some extent; however, the influence of American English was so great that its impact cannot be too emphasized. Moreover, on pronunciation, their distinctiveness appeared more clearly. People using these dialects prefer to use American ways and sometimes British ways, so their inclination of pronunciation can be apparent. Owing to the chapter, Montrealers more oftern use American pronunciation than people in Ontario, which is outstanding feature of Montreal English(P.48). Furthermore, Great Vowel Shift, according to the chapter(P.58), left some characteristics in the dialects, which keep middle English characters.
As a result, dialects above are affected by American English and distinctive in pronunciation.
