Abstract:

This book examines the various patterns of nominal and pronominal address used
in Jamaica and Trinidad, the two most populous islands of the English-speaking
Caribbean. Given that the Anglo-Caribbean context has so far been largely
neglected in address research, this study aims to provide an in-depth analysis
of the linguistic means Jamaicans and Trinidadians have at their disposal and
make use of to address each other. A particular focus will be on variation in
the speakers’ address behaviour with regard to their sex, age, social class,
ethnicity, and regional background. The study draws both on data from a
self-compiled corpus of postcolonial Jamaican and Trinidadian literary works,
and on questionnaire and interview data collected during fieldwork. This book
contributes to the ever-growing body of research in the field of nominal and
pronominal address, and will be relevant to researchers interested in the
fields of sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and World Englishes.
