Seminar paper from the year 1998 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: very good, University of Salzburg (Anglistics/ American Studies), course: Caribbean Prose and Poetry, language: English, abstract: Almost every inhabitant of the European continent has sometimes dreamed of the Caribbean or the West Indies as a possibible holiday destination. It is quite common in Europe to think in images of the West Indies. In peoples’ minds, the Caribbean equals white beaches, palm trees or drinking Piña Coladas in the shadow of a tree with big leaves. The common image, though, also has another side: for most Europeans, the “islands in the sun” also mean poverty, a bad economic situation, underdevelopment and backwardness in many respects. Almost nobody over here knows that most of these islands have had a history, wars, and conflicts with other nations, especially with the colonising ones. What should not be neglected here is that all these factors of the islands’ history have had an influence on the development of their languages both written and spoken. In this paper, I would like to deal with some of these factors and their influence on the language of the Caribbean people and their literature. On the one hand, I chose the topic “Language” for my final paper since my own interest within the English language lies within the field of linguistics, on the other hand because never before have I been in contact with the Caribbean variety of English which, in my opinion, deserves much more attention and research in the near future from a linguistic point of view. “Language And Its Importance In The Caribbean”-a title of a paper which might suggest that the topic is only treated from a linguistic point of view. Generally speaking, this paper tries to introduce a few of the varieties and dialects spoken in this area of the world, but also focuses on the importance of language in the daily lives of the Caribbean people and in their literature. Furthermore, I try to show the importance of language in literature by giving some references to certain books. At the beginning of this paper, I would like to deal with a topic which is basic for the understanding of language in the West Indies. The following chapter deals with the variety of “Creole English”.

"Based upon more than forty years of linguistic and ethnographic research, Douglas Taylor's work presents the languages of the Caribbean in all their variegated richness. Focusing as it does on language contact and linguistic change in the Caribbean from pre-Conquest times to the present, it brings the perspectives of linguistics, anthropology, and history to bear on a crucial area of the New World experience. The author concentrates first on the Amerindian languages of the Caribbean (Nepuyo, Shebayo, Yao, Taino, Arawak and Island-Carib). He provides the fullest account ever given of the linguistic situation and the history of these languages. Second, he turns to the so-called creole languages of the region, languages commonly associated with the enslaved Africans whose descendants make up the majority of the Caribbean population. He shows the derivations of the various language systems and the borrowings each language makes from another. Today, as Taylor demonstrates, these languages vie with standard dialects of European tongues in much of the Caribbean. In Haiti alone, probably more than five million persons speak a creole as their first language. By choosing these two important and radically contrastive dimensions for description and analysis, Taylor provides the reader with a broad, yet remarkably particular, overview of the phenomena of language and language change. Creole languages are spoken by millions of contemporary speakers; but the language of the Island-Carib has disappeared from the insular Caribbean. Thus, the idiom that once provided all the inhabitants of the lesser islands with their principal medium of communication has now been almost completely supplanted. The principal languages of much of the region today are the outgrowth of lengthy and complex encounters among speakers of many different tongues, speakers who were themselves descended from newcomers whose own native languages were not or are no longer spoken in the region. As Taylor points out in his introductory comments, language, as the primary means of perpetuating culture, profoundly reflects and informs the culture itself. Its presence is a living representation of the way of life of people; its disappearance or destruction usually signals the replacement of our cultural system by another. In sum, Taylor has provided original and crucial evidence that the origin and character of the Caribbean creole languages must be sought in cultural history of the Caribbean creole-speaking peoples. He adopts the view that the early stage of the language reflected a lexicon, largely of Portuguese origin, that had been shaped in West Africa and subsequently reshaped in other regions under the influence of other languages. To this "reflexication" hypothesis, as it is called, he joins a necessary grammatical hypothesis."-- Book Jacket.
