Abstract

Ce drame dialogué s'inspire des rapports de l'Homme avec le végétal, de leurs bienfaits réciproques comme de leurs nuisances mutuelles étant entendu qu'il y a à déplorer, face à l'arrogante domination du premier, le mutisme congénital du second. Un mutisme qui est ici conjuré par la vertu de l'imaginaire poétique. À travers une langue à la syntaxe impeccable et à la rhétorique toute emplie d'un charme classique nous sont montrés les fâcheux effets qu'engendre la primauté du béton sur les clôtures vives et le gazon, de l'insupportable hurlement des tronçonneuses sur le gai refrain de la scie. Et c'est ainsi que l'absence d'un contact régulier entre l'humanité et l'arbre entraîne une certaine dégénérescence préjudiciable à tous les deux. Ce texte, qui est une manière d'apologue, est aussi une sorte de prosopopée plurielle et à voix multiples de la Nature.

Abstract

Contact Englishes of the Eastern Caribbean is the first collection to focus, via primary linguistic fieldwork, on the underrepresented and neglected area of the Anglophone Eastern Caribbean. The following islands are included: The Virgin Islands (USA & British), Anguilla, Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, Carriacou, Barbados, Trinidad, and Guyana. In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, the contiguous areas of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos islands (often considered part of North American Englishes) are also included. Papers in this volume explore all aspects of language study, including syntax, phonology, historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics, ethnography, and performance. It should be of interest not only to creolists but also to linguists, anthropologists, sociologists and educators either in the Caribbean itself or those who work with schoolchildren of West Indian descent.

Abstract

The research on the formation of (radical) creoles has seen an unprecedented intensification and diversification in the last 20 years. This book discusses, illustrates, and evaluates current research on creole formation based on an in-depth investigation of the processes and mechanisms that contributed to the emergence of the morphosyntactic system of the creoles of Suriname. The study draws on a rich corpus of a) natural conversational and elicited synchronic linguistic data from the Eastern Maroon Creole (EMC) and its main African substrate language, Gbe, b) published diachronic data from the EMC's sister-language Sranan Tongo, and c) information on the early history of Suriname coming from socio-historical investigations. It suggests that mechanisms of deliberate and contact-induced change also involved in borrowing and particularly shift situations led to the initial formation of the creoles of Suriname while language-internal change played a role in their subsequent development.
