In recent years the study of English and its global varieties has
grown rapidly as a field of study. The English language in
Singapore, famous for its vernacular known as 'Singlish', is of
particular interest to linguists because it takes accent, dialect
and lexical features from a wide range of languages including
Malay, Mandarin, Hokkien and Tamil, as well as being influenced by
the Englishes of Britain, Australia and America. This book gives a
comprehensive overview of English in Singapore by setting it within
a historical context and drawing on recent developments in the
field of indexicality, world Englishes and corpus research. Through
application of the indexicality framework Jakob Leimgruber offers
readers a new way of thinking about and analysing the unique
syntactic, semantic and phonological structure of Singapore
English. This book is ideal for researchers and advanced students
interested in Singapore and its languages.
