Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Robert Hollett, a member of the English Department at Memorial University, teaches the structure of English language. His research concentrates on Newfoundland language, particularly pronunciation. Author of "Preserving the Pronunciations of Newfoundland Place Names: A Case Study of Bauline East" (1998), he and Kirwin are preparing two other place name monographs - on Placentia Bay and Trinity Bay.

William Kirwin is co-author of The Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland: An Ethno-linguistic Study (1968), with Seary and G.M. Story; and co-editor with Story and J.D.A. Widdowson of the Dictionary of Newfoundland English (1982; 1990). Since retirement in 1984, he has supervised a new edition of the popular Seary Family Names and turned his attention to place name studies.
