In this course, we will start first by looking at the spread of English in the Caribbean, and then pay attention to the linguistic features of English in several Caribbean territories. We will also look at stylistic variation in English in the Caribbean, using both corpus data as well as data of actual language use in a number of different contexts, especially media. After looking at the formal aspects, we will turn to the different functions that English plays in the region, and look at language attitudes in the region. From there, we will look at the spread of Caribbean Englishes outside the region, particularly through popular culture. |
