Books by Katie (University of Leeds) Wales

English as spoken in the north of England has a rich social and cultural history; however research has often neglected it in favour of 'Standard English'. In this groundbreaking, alternative account of the history of English, Northern English, with its varieties and diversity, takes centre stage for the first time

In this comprehensive analysis of personal pronouns in present-day English, Katie Wales examines a wide variety of discourses, texts and varieties of English around the world. Her discussion is illustrated with numerous examples of the usage of personal pronouns and also of reflexives and possessives.
