Dread Talk - The Language of Rastafari (Paperback)

The book includes descriptions of Dread Talk, the speech of the Rastafari, as an example of lexical expansion in a creole language, and the influence of the lexicon on Jamaican English. It also discusses the adjustment of the language to other creoles, both English and French-related, in the Eastern Caribbean. New to this revised edition is a chapter on "Dread Talk in the Diaspora" that discusses the language as used in the urban centres of North America and Europe.
