Combining the World Englishes framework with First Language
Acquisition methodology, this book investigates children's
acquisition of L1 English in the context of multilingual Singapore,
one of the traditional Kachruvian Outer Circle or ESL countries.
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.
