Abstract:

World Englishes and English in postcolonial contexts have been curiously
neglected in an otherwise abundant research literature on text types and
genres in English. This volume looks at the adaptation, transformation and
emergence of genres in the particular cultural context of the Anglophone
Caribbean. A comprehensive framework for the investigation of text production
in postcolonial and global English communities is followed by empirically
based case studies on specific text formats such as "recipes, death notices"
and "obituaries, letters to the editor, newspaper advice columns, radio
phone-in programmes, online forums" and the music genre "alypso". Influences
from oral versus literate culture as well as status and function of English
versus Creole are considered by highlighting written, spoken and digital
genres. All chapters present surveys from a historical and cross-cultural
perspective before exploring specific linguistic and cultural features in the
Caribbean texts. This volume will be highly relevant for researchers in World
Englishes and Caribbean studies, postcolonial pragmatics, genre and media
studies as well as linguistic anthropology.
