Abstract:

Contact Englishes of the Eastern Caribbean is the first collection to
focus, via primary linguistic fieldwork, on the underrepresented and
neglected area of the Anglophone Eastern Caribbean. The following
islands are included: The Virgin Islands (USA & British), Anguilla,
Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, Carriacou, Barbados, Trinidad, and
Guyana. In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, the contiguous
areas of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos islands (often
considered part of North American Englishes) are also included. Papers
in this volume explore all aspects of language study, including
syntax, phonology, historical linguistics, dialectology,
sociolinguistics, ethnography, and performance. It should be of
interest not only to creolists but also to linguists, anthropologists,
sociologists and educators either in the Caribbean itself or those who
work with schoolchildren of West Indian descent.
