- Title
East Anglian English.

- Abstract
Trudgill concludes that there is some evidence of an East Anglian contribution to the formation of Southern Hemisphere English but that it is indirect and less conclusive than data from North America (p. 149). Trudgill ends by stating that although the region may have changed shape over the centuries and language always changes, East Anglia forms a distinctive dialect area and this is likely to continue well into the foreseeable future. Trudgill adds that although this linguistic feature is a social dialect feature, it is never involved in hypercorrection, meaning speakers never add I -s i to forms other than the third-person singular.
