Strathy Language Unit

Strathy Student Working Papers on Canadian English

In 2000, the Strathy Language Unit launched the Strathy Undergraduate Working Papers on Canadian English as a venue for exhibiting research by undergraduate students enrolled in the Canadian English course at Queen’s University. Beginning in 2012, we are broadening the focus of the journal to include work by students at any level of study from any institution and renaming the journal Strathy Student Working Papers on Canadian English. 

The journal will include papers on a range of topics dealing with the structure or usage of the English language in Canada, broadly defined. This may include articles dealing with grammatical analysis, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, historical research, lexicography and discourse analysis. The “Canadian English” under investigation may be any variety of English spoken in any region of the country, by native or non-native speakers. English may be the sole language of analysis or may be examined within the context of other languages.

The new series is hosted on QSpace and can be accessed by clicking here. For more information, please contact series editor Anastasia Riehl at riehla@queensu.ca. A call for papers with submission guidelines is available below.
