The book investigates language choice, use, and dominance in Singaporean families, identifies common linguistic characteristics of L1 Singapore English, as well as the acquisitional route that Singaporean children take. It discusses characteristics at the different levels of language organization, i.e. phonological, morphosyntactic, lexical, and pragmatic features, drawing on a variety of systematically elicited data and Praat-based acoustic analyses. Comparing the results to similar data obtained from children living in England (both mono- and bi-/multilingual), the book also sheds light on how the acquisitional steps taken by Singaporean children differ from or are similar to traditional native speakers of English and children from immigrant families in England"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in World Englishes 606 $aEnglish language$zSingapore$xAcquisition 606 $aEnglish language$xDialects$zSingapore 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics$2bisacsh 615 0$aEnglish language$xAcquisition. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDialects 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics 676 $a427/.95957 686 $aLAN009000$aLAN009040$aLAN009050$2bisacsh 700 $aBuschfeld$b Sarah$01202559 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765518903321 996 $aChildren's English in Singapore$93649349 997 $aUNINA
