Articles liés à Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage
Synopsis
This remarkable new dictionary represents the first attempt in some four centuries to record the state of development of English as used across the entire Caribbean region. Information has been drawn from speech recordings and from over 900 written sources of Caribbean literature, reference works, magazines, pamphlets, and newspapers. The derivation and usage of words, their social or grammatical register, pronunciation, area of occurrence and regional differences are all clearly recorded, with full cross-referencing and thousands of illustrative quotations from a broad range of sources. A short Supplement lists Caribbean French and Spanish equivalents to Caribbean English items selected from the main work. Includes: bobolist * feg * pla-pla * Tobago love * fungee * Jamaica-plum * naseberry * Phagwa * Conchy Joe * take up sb's fire-rage * jumbie * coskel * obsocky * Rastafarianism * play ole mas
