    摘要註: "This book presents an in-depth study of English as spokenin two major anglophone Caribbean territories, Jamaica andTrinidad. Based on data from the International Corpus of English, it focuses on variation at the morphological and syntactic level between the educated standard and more informal educated spoken usage. Dagmar Deuber combines quantitative analyses across several text categories with qualitative analyses of transcribed text passages that aregrounded in interactional sociolinguistics and recent approaches to linguistic style and identity. The discussion is situated in the context of variation in the Caribbean and the wider context of world Englishes, and the sociolinguistic background of Jamaica and Trinidad is also explored. This volume will be of interest to studentsand researchers interested in the fields of sociolinguistics, world Englishes, and language contact"--
