Caribbean Language Issues Old & New
Angebote / Angebote:
CaribbeanLanguage Issues Old and New was conceived as a tribute to ProfessorMervyn Alleyne--who is widely acknowledged as a pioneer in thefield of Caribbean language-on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday.A wide variety of issues are dealt with: phonology, syntax, discourse, creole genesis, language problems in education, among others. Some authors re-visit topics on which Alleyne himself has written, building his insights in many cases, while others explore areas which had not been investigated previously.This work provides access to recent research by Caribbean scholars, and goes some way towards filling a gap, particularly in its usefulness to students of linguistics and teachers of English. At the same time, the uninitiated reader who decides to explore its pages will not be unrewarded, since the the style is simple and direct and the content, for the most part, not highly technical.
