The following islands are included: The Virgin Islands (USA & British), Anguilla, Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, Carriacou, Barbados, Trinidad, and Guyana. In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, the contiguous areas of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos islands (often considered part of North American Englishes) are also included. Papers in this volume explore all aspects of language study, including syntax, phonology, historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics, ethnography, and performance. It should be of interest not only to creolists but also to linguists, anthropologists, sociologists and educators either in the Caribbean itself or those who work with schoolchildren of West Indian descent.Varieties of English around the world.General series ;v. 30.English languageCaribbean AreaEnglish languageVariationCaribbean AreaCreole dialects, EnglishCaribbean AreaLanguages in contactCaribbean AreaCaribbean AreaLanguagesEnglish languageEnglish languageVariationCreole dialects, EnglishLanguages in contact427/.9729Aceto Michael1676416Williams Jeffrey P(Jeffrey Payne),1958-1753978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828411403321Contact Englishes of the Eastern Caribbean4190070UNINA
