Abstract:
This book presents an in-depth study of English as spoken in two major
anglophone Caribbean territories, Jamaica and Trinidad. Based on data from the
International Corpus of English, it focuses on variation at the morphological
and syntactic level between the educated standard and more informal educated
spoken usage. Dagmar Deuber combines quantitative analyses across several text
categories with qualitative analyses of transcribed text passages that are
grounded in interactional sociolinguistics and recent approaches to linguistic
style and identity. The discussion is situated in the context of variation in
the Caribbean and the wider context of world Englishes, and the
sociolinguistic background of Jamaica and Trinidad is also explored. This
volume will be of interest to students and researchers interested in the
fields of sociolinguistics, world Englishes, and language contact.
1. Introduction; 2. The background and context of English in Jamaica and
Trinidad; 3. The sociolinguistics of style and the Creole continuum; 4. Data
and methodology; 5. Style in Jamaican English: analysis of conversations; 6.
Style and standard in Trinidadian English: analysis of four text categories;
7. The modal verbs can/could and will/would in Caribbean and other varieties
of English; 8. Conclusion.
Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
