This study analyses left dislocation, prepositions, and the
progressive aspect in Ugandan English. It uses spoken data of
English speakers with the three indigenous Ugandan languages. The
results show high frequency use of left dislocation in Ugandan
English. This suggests possible substrate influence from these
first languages since left dislocation construction is used in
these languages. The use of prepositions is overwhelmingly like in
Standard English with just very few cases indicating variation from
Standard English, although the three indigenous languages have very
few prepositions in comparison to the English language. The use of
the progressive illustrates variation among English speakers with
the three first languages indicating that Ugandan English is not
homogenous.
