Abstract:
In The Survival of People and Languages: Schooners, Goats and Cassava in St.
Barthelemy, French West Indies, Julianne Maher explains a rare linguistic
anomaly, how a small homogeneous population of seventeenth century French
settlers in the tiny island of St. Barth came to speak four separate
languages. With a range of historical documents and eighteenth century
eye-witness accounts, Maher reconstructs the island's social ecology that led
to its fragmentation. The four speech varieties are closely examined and
analyzed, using extensive native speaker interviews; with the impending demise
of these languages such documentation is unique. Maher concludes that social
factors such as poverty, economics, geography and small population size served
to maintain linguistic barriers on the island for over two hundred fifty
years.
