Details
Walter Spencer Avis was one of the foremost Canadian linguists of his day. Throughout the 1950s to his death at age 60, Avis' mission has been described as "plant[ing] into the minds of his compatriots the notion of Canadian English (CanE) as related but different from other "Englishes"." In that sense, Avis was an early proponent of World Englishes, by looking at non-dominant standard forms, with Standard Canadian English in focus, in what would later be called a pluricentric model.
