Reviews
There is some very detailed analysis of linguistics and language structure which might support academic study of the subject at college or university. But the reader will also find a wealth of excellent information on the history of Caribbean Creole language and St Lucian Kweyol in particular. This is a very useful book for anyone wishing to understand more about the cultural influences in the Caribbean. It provided me with a fascinating insight into the culture of the land of my birth.
Synopsis
"To speak a language means more than to use a certain morphology and syntax, it means to support the whole weight of a culture and civilization" (Fanon) Under slavery, African languages were violently suppressed. Despite this, Africans in the Caribbean preserved the grammatical core of their African mother tongues, while using the vocabularies of their European slave masters. The Creole languages of the Caribbean were born from this great creative feat of resistance. This book starts with a brief description of the grammatical structure of African (Niger-Congo) languages. It then examines the social and linguistic history of the languages of the Caribbean, identifying their debt to the languages of Africa. This debt is also examined in the light of Creole theory up to 2014. The oral literatures of the Caribbean Creoles and their relationship to their audiences are considered. Their debt to the oral tradition of West African is identified. The final chapter looks at the implications for the teaching of English as a second language in schools and adult education and also considers Creoles as a medium for teaching. This revised edition is issued in response to strong demand. The work will be of interest to linguists, educators and policymakers and to anyone with an interest in the history of the Caribbean.

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
