Abstract:

"Urban Panamanian English" presents the first detailed account of the
English used by the descendants of the Afro-Caribbean builders of the
Panama Canal. It offers an up-to-date sociolinguistic account of the
Panamanian West Indian community of Panama City and Colón, including
empirical coverage of the advanced state of language shift taking
place among bilinguals. The book also showcases spoken interview data
and takes stock of the variety’s grammatical features. In particular,
it provides an advanced quantitative study of variation in the use of
verbal -s which contributes to longstanding discussions regarding the
principles constraining this variable in Englishes world-wide. This
work of documentation and description richly complements existing
research on Panamanian Creole English and spotlights Panama as part
and parcel of the English-speaking Caribbean. As such, this book is of
interest to all scholars and students of language contact, variation,
and change.
