Overview

This volume describes the English and English Creole of Trinidad and Tobago. Sources from the early 19th to the late 20th centuries are gathered from a wide range of materials: editorials, novels, advertisements, cartoons, proverbs, newspaper articles, plays, lyrics of traditional songs and calypsos, and oral interviews. The introduction includes a description of the historical background, the sound system, grammar and vocabulary, speech styles, social and linguistic interaction of Creole and English, and implications for education and spelling. The older sources demonstrate much closer links to other Caribbean English Creoles than previously recognized. The texts and the accompanying cassette of oral interviews should be useful for researchers and teachers in linguistics, Creole Studies, Caribbean Studies, literature, anthropology and history.
