Customer Review: Great help for my linguistics research! - I found this analytical dictionary very well done and accessible. What is more, it was of great help in my research for my linguistics analysis class, in which we studied Nahuatl in an exercise. I recommend this book to whoever would like to learn more about this language, and also to linguists. - Reviewer: Audrey from Cugand, France, April 16, 2000

Broken English:
The Creole Language
of Carriacou
by Ronald F. Kephart
Published: 2000

Book Description: "Broken English:" The Creole Language of Carriacou is the first attempt to document--from a linguistic and anthropological perspective--the variety of Creole English spoken on the island, Carriacou. It is a small island in the Eastern Caribbean between Grenada and St. Vincent, which has long been of interest to anthropologists and musicologists due to its relative isolation and the richness of its African-American cultural traditions. This book contains an extensive ecology of the language, which is followed by a sketch of its major grammatical features. Also included are transcriptions of recorded natural language texts, as well as a lexicon. The focus throughout this work is on the language in its social and cultural context, with the goal that readers will come away with a sense of the richness of Carriacou's language and culture.
