This book presents an in-depth study of English as spoken in two
major anglophone Caribbean territories, Jamaica and Trinidad. Based
on data from the International Corpus of English, it focuses on
variation at the morphological and syntactic level between the
educated standard and more informal educated spoken usage. Dagmar
Deuber combines quantitative analyses across several text
categories with qualitative analyses of transcribed text passages
that are grounded in interactional sociolinguistics and recent
approaches to linguistic style and identity. The discussion is
situated in the context of variation in the Caribbean and the wider
context of world Englishes, and the sociolinguistic background of
Jamaica and Trinidad is also explored. This volume will be of
interest to students and researchers interested in the fields of
sociolinguistics, world Englishes, and language contact.
