The English language in Singapore, famous for its vernacular known as 'Singlish', is of particular interest to linguists because it takes accent, dialect and lexical features from a wide range of languages including Malay, Mandarin, Hokkien and Tamil, as well as being influenced by the Englishes of Britain, Australia and America. This book gives a comprehensive overview of English in Singapore by setting it within a historical context and drawing on recent developments in the field of indexicality, world Englishes and corpus research. Through application of the indexicality framework Jakob Leimgruber offers readers a new way of thinking about and analysing the unique syntactic, semantic and phonological structure of Singapore English. This book is ideal for researchers and advanced students interested in Singapore and its languages."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Introduction: Singapore and its Englishes -- Variation in Singapore English: old and new models -- Description: phonology and lexicon -- Description: grammar -- Indexicality: a model for Singapore? -- Conclusion: the variety as a structural unit. 650 0 $a English language $z Singapore. 650 0 $a English language $x Variation $z Singapore. 650 0 $a English language $x Social aspects $z Singapore. 650 0 $a Language and culture $z Singapore. 651 0 $a Singapore $x Languages. 650 7 $a English language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910920 650 7 $a English language $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911649 650 7 $a English language $x Variation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911928 650 7 $a Language and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992135 650 7 $a Language and languages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992154 651 7 $a Singapore. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205288 830 0 $a Studies in English language. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5255CD348E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
