Book Synopsis Predication in Caribbean English Creoles by : Donald Winford
Download or read book Predication in Caribbean English Creoles written by Donald Winford and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1993-01-21 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study of the conservative or basilectal English creoles of the Anglophone Caribbean since Bailey's (1966) and Bickerton's (1975) descriptions of Jamaican and Guyanese Creole respectively. The book offers a comprehensive, unified treatment of the core areas of CEC predication, including the verb complex, auxiliary ordering, voice and valency, copular and attributive predication, serial verb constructions and complementation. Particularly note-worthy is its utilization of an extremely rich data base and a variety of sources to provide an up-to-date, state of the art account of predicate structures in CEC. The book presents new analyses of several areas of CEC syntax, including such phenonema as passivization, serialization and complementation, which have not been thoroughly analyzed, if at all, in the previous literature. The areas covered in the book involve a wide range of grammatical phenomena centering around the various sub-classes of verb and their subcategorization. The book consists of an introduction, a conclusion, and six chapters, each of which explores some aspect of the behavior of verbs (or verb-like predicators) and the constructions in which they occur. The book is intended to be a pre-theoretical account of the facts of CEC predication. However, to further elucidate the workings of the grammar and add some degree of explicitness to the description, the author also presents more formal analyses of the grammatical phenomena, employing the framework of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG).

Book Synopsis Verb Phrase Patterns in Black English and Creole by : Walter F. Edwards
Download or read book Verb Phrase Patterns in Black English and Creole written by Walter F. Edwards and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to present an in-depth examination and comparison of grammatical phenomena in both Black English and New World English-lexicon Creoles. The volume's concentration on verb phrase patterns adds focus and coherence to the discussion. The contributors include highly respected scholars and very promising younger scholars who have already made their presence felt. Most of the contributors are also native speakers of the languages they describe. Their insights, therefore, are drawn from an extremely rich data base of scholarship, personal experience, and intuition. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of several areas of predication in Black English and Creole, namely the copula system, modality, features of the tense/aspect system, and passivization. Several essays devote attention specifically to the relationships between Black English and Creole verb phrase patterns, including two classic essays that link the study of Black English to that of New World Creoles. The balance of the essays present original analyses of various aspects of predication and explore theoretical issues that have received little attention in the literature. Verb Phrase Patterns in Black English and Creole provides insight not only into areas of Black English and Creole grammar but also goes on to establish a basis for further research on these varieties, forging a link between the past and the future.
Book Synopsis The Emergence of Black English by : Guy Bailey
Download or read book The Emergence of Black English written by Guy Bailey and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debate over the evolution of Black English Vernacular (BEV) has permeated Afro-American studies, creole linguistics, dialectology, and sociolinguistics for a quarter of a century with little sign of a satisfactory resolution, primarily because evidence that bears directly on the earlier stages of BEV is sparse. This book brings together 11 transcripts of mechanical recordings of interviews with former slaves born well over a century ago. It attempts to make this crucial source of data as widely known as possible and to explore its importance for the study of Black English Vernacular in view of various problems of textual composition and interpretation. It does so by providing a complete description of the contents of the recordings, by providing transcripts of most of the contents, and by publishing a group of interpretive essays which examine the data in the light of other relevant historical, cultural, social, and linguistic evidence and which provide contexts for interpretation and analysis. In these essays a group of diverse scholars on BEV analyze the same texts for the first time; the lack of consensus that emerges may seem surprising, but in fact highlights some of the basic problems of textual composition and interpretation and of scholarly dispositions that underlie the study of BEV. The papers raise crucial questions about the evolution of BEV, about its relationship to other varieties, and, most important, about the construction and interpretation of linguistic texts.

Book Synopsis Lexicon of Black English by : Joey Lee Dillard
Download or read book Lexicon of Black English written by Joey Lee Dillard and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1977 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Of the thousands of books and articles on the Black American English vernacular published in the last decade, almost all have failed to examine closely the vocabulary of Black English. This book corrects that failing by going beyond popular treatments that overemphasize the language of the drug trade and of prostitution - language, J.L. Dillard convincingly demonstrates, which is only incidentally "Black." Since there is no full-scale dictionary of Black English available, the present "lexicon" will be an indispensable work for Blacks seeking to understand their own historic past, and for all those who have been fascinated by the forcefulness and richness of this language"--From Amazon.com.
