Professor Robert Le Page was a pioneer in the field of English and
Creole linguistics in the Caribbean. This collection of papers in
honour of Le Page addresses a variety of topics in the field,
pointing out the ways in which Le Page and his work have
influenced, stimulated or been ignored by others.
This is the first book on Caribbean language studies to include
original sections on language in education, speakers' behaviour in
informal discourse and language structure. Based on sound
linguistic scholarship, the thirteen chapters are organized in
three sections: Pedagogical/Sociological; Structure; and
Discourse.
Caribbean linguists have long been concerned that the findings
of scholars in this field have been inaccessible to teachers and
others interested in linguistics in the Caribbean. This book is
geared for a wide audience, including school teachers, university
students and teachers of linguistics in the Caribbean and the USA,
and researchers on Creole languages.
