Originally published in 1966, Beryl Loftman Bailey's book was one
of the first on the Jamaican Creole language, its origins and its
influence on the teaching of English in Jamaica. A native Jamaican
herself, Bailey's personal experience of both learning and later
teaching English in the Caribbean was a springboard to her interest
in the problems of language interference in contact situations. She
challenged a notion prevalent throughout English teachers in
Caribbean at the time that Creole was a 'dialect' not a language
and therefore need not be considered in teaching. The social
implications of this view are also explored. Bailey's detailed
analysis of Jamaican Creole phonology, morphology, kernel sentence
structure and simple and double-based transformations provided
valuable insights into the foundations of the language and its
educational implications.
