Canadian English Word Centre (CEWoC)

We propose "The Canadian English Word Centre" as the focal point for the study, monitoring and production of reference tools for Canadian English lexis, phraseology and semantics. After the devastation of the commercial dictionary industry at the beginning of the millennium, there is a growing research gap today. Our aim is to provide Canadian residents and anyone interested (e.g. students, academics, writers and editors) with a reliable suite of reference works that is Canadian (not American or British) and that reflects the multiplying uses of the many Englishes in Canada, informing non-discriminatory recommendations of an inclusive standard, rooted in decolonization.
