Abstract:

Secret Manipulations is the first comprehensive study of African register 
variation, polylectality, and derived languages. Focusing on a specific form of 
language change-deliberate manipulations of a language by its speakers-it 
provides a new approach to local language ideologies and concepts of grammar 
and metalinguistic knowledge.

Anne Storch concentrates on case studies from Nigeria, Uganda, Sudan, the 
African diaspora, and 16th century Europe. In these cases, language 
manipulation varies with social and cultural contexts, and is almost always done 
in secret. At the same time, this manipulation can be an act of subversion and 
an expression of power, and it is often central to the construction of social 
norms, as it constructs oppositions and gives marginalized people a chance to 
articulate themselves. This volume illustrates how manipulated languages are 
constructed, how they are used, and how they wield power.
