English and creole: A brief linguistic sketch

Angel Figueroa

This paper is a short introduction to the nature of English as is commonly spoken in Jamaica, with a brief analysis of phonology, vocabulary, morphology and syntax. The focus of this study is two-fold: first, on how Jamaican Creole differs from ‘Standard’ English, and second, on how Jamaican Creole comprises a rich variation in linguistic forms.
