Abstract:

Second-language varieties of English in the South Pacific have received scant
attention, until now. This monograph offers the first book-length analysis of
the sociolinguistics and morphosyntax of three representatives of South
Pacific L2 English in comparison – two of which have never been described
linguistically. The book describes the spread of English, its current status
and use in the three island states and compares the most frequent and salient
morphosyntactic features to corresponding structures in Asian and African
Englishes and the Oceanic substrate languages. As part of a larger theoretical
discussion on the multiple factors that determine the evolution and dynamics
of L2 varieties in general, Mufwene’s feature pool model is extended to a new
model that integrates cognitive aspects of language acquisition and use,
typological aspects of the languages/varieties involved and socio-cultural
motivations of language use. The book also examines the role of New Zealand
English as a potential epicentre in the South Pacific and considers ethical
and methodological issues of linguistic field research.
