Abstract:
In recent years the study of English and its global varieties has grown
rapidly as a field of study. The English language in Singapore, famous for its
vernacular known as 'Singlish', is of particular interest to linguists because
it takes accent, dialect and lexical features from a wide range of languages
including Malay, Mandarin, Hokkien and Tamil, as well as being influenced by
the Englishes of Britain, Australia and America. This book gives a
comprehensive overview of English in Singapore by setting it within a
historical context and drawing on recent developments in the field of
indexicality, world Englishes and corpus research. Through application of the
indexicality framework Jakob Leimgruber offers readers a new way of thinking
about and analysing the unique syntactic, semantic and phonological structure
of Singapore English. This book is ideal for researchers and advanced students
interested in Singapore and its languages.
