This chapter presents a settlement history of St Vincent and the Grenadines, the demographic composition of the islands at transitional periods in their history and the ethnolinguistic origins of the settlers. We show that a great proportion of the African linguistic heritage has been lost and that, throughout the centuries, a number of linguistic elements of Africans brought to the islands have been incorporated into other language varieties as a result of contact, leaving lexical and structural traces of the Africans’ ancestral languages. We also establish that the Carib, Madeiran and Indian descendants have lost or given up the languages of their ancestors. We explore some sociohistorical events that have given rise to this present linguistic state of affairs and highlight some early and modern-day lexical, phonological and grammatical features of Vincentian language.* Keywords: St Vincent and the Grenadines; ethnolinguistic origins; demographic composition; phonology; lexicon; grammar

This paper investigates variation in the use of past tense preverbal markers bin and did by two generations of speakers in Bequia. Preverbal markers have been characterised as socially stigmatised indexing rural dialects, speakers’ lower socioeconomic status, or older age. Results of the quantitative multivariate analysis in two of the Bequia communities, Hamilton and Paget Farm, point to differences in the use of bin between older and younger speakers showing that adolescents in Paget Farm have recycled the form and are using it significantly more than their grandparents, as well as their peers in Hamilton. I suggest that the increase of preverbal bin in Paget Farm can be considered as a response of adolescents in this community to the recent socio-economic transformations on the island. I argue that the new socio-economic landscape has led to a change in the social meaning of bin from a stigmatised rural form to a marker of local authenticity. This is important considering the social and linguistic judgements surrounding this community which is assigned little symbolic power according to the socio-economic criteria which usually constitute the linguistic marketplace. The study demonstrates that to interpret the patterns of variation between creole and standard variants the effects of globalising processes need to be considered next to local ideologies. Keywords: social meaning of variation; tense marking; language and identity; globalisation

This chapter examines the use of pronouns in Bequia English, considering the quantitative distribution of subject and non-subject pronoun forms in subject and object position in the spontaneous speech of 18 speakers from three villages. We contrast the case-based Standard English pronominal system with a system in which pronoun forms are not distinguished in subject and object. While some dialects of British English exhibit “pronoun exchange” similar to the patterns found in Caribbean English, the distribution in Bequia more clearly reflects norms attested in the Caribbean since the late 18th century, rather than that of English dialects. Quantitative analysis shows that the distribution of nonstandard subject and non-subject pronouns is to a large extent correlated and that co-occurrence patterns, while largely idiosyncratic, show some tendency to differentiate villages on the island.* Keywords: variation; pronouns; Bequia; quantitative sociolinguistics

The poetic and strategic use of language by women in rural St Vincent is explored. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in 1992–1993 and 1998 in three leeward villages, the author offers examples of women using their verbal skills to reframe instances of stigmatized talk as part of their reputation-management. Women’s speech practices are shaped in part by a verbal aesthetic and sensitivity to voice that is noticeable in St Vincent. Their speech practices are also shaped by an ideology that stigmatizes certain speech genres as low-minded, yet which also stereotypes those genres as women’s genres. Finally, women’s speech practices are shaped by an ideology that “respectable” women should limit their public visibility. This is a challenge for women who must be more publicly visible in order to access the support networks beyond their houses/yards. But these ideological constraints also create the conditions for some very creative use of language. Some women are able to reframe stigmatized talk as acceptable talk by exploiting the somewhat ambiguous boundary between speech genres. Their verbal artistry is an important resource in this protection of reputation. Keywords: women and language strategies; reframing; stigmatized talk; reputation; gender stereotype

Drawing on both historical and contemporary data, this paper presents the attestations in Vincentian of the diagnostic features of English-lexified contact languages proposed by Baker & Huber (2001). This is followed by a comparison of the distribution of these features in Vincentian and in the seven Atlantic English-lexified Pidgins and Creoles considered by Baker & Huber (2001), and the quantification of the affinities of Vincentian with Antiguan, Bajan and Kittitian. A number of selected diagnostic features recorded in Vincentian are discussed in terms of their origin, relevance to the split between Western and Eastern Caribbean Creoles, and world-wide distribution. Keywords: English-lexified Creoles; diagnostic features; origin; classification; Atlantic; Western vs Eastern Caribbean; world-wide

After providing a brief description of du ‘do’, duhz ‘does’, and did ‘did’, the functions of duhn ‘done’ in Vincentian Creole are analysed. While some duhn uses illustrate an aspectual function reminiscent of the completive semantics of English ‘done’, Vincentian duhn cannot be accounted for as a simple marker of completive aspect. In fact, only its combination with dynamic verbs affords it the completive reading. Drawing on the intricate interplay of temporal, aspectual and modality properties observed, the study contends that the semantic characteristics of the verbs which this morpheme combines with significantly condition their interpretation and that the choice of duhn allows speakers to focus on entry into states or events or continuative aspect depending on predicate types. Furthermore, it is shown that speakers of Vincentian Creole did not randomly create new functional markers. Instead, linguistic elements which were already at work in other linguistic systems the speakers were in contact with were transferred into new linguistic systems and restructured. Essentially, these “borrowed” morphemes lent themselves to semantic and functional transfers. Keywords: completive; habitual and inceptive aspect; continuative; aspectual closure; stative and dynamic verbs; Vincentian creole

Languages of the Caribbean are fascinating and have been studied extensively. It is a particularly fertile ground for the study of pidgins and creoles and the interplay of language and culture and society. However, the languages of St Vincent and the Grenadines have not received the comprehensive attention they deserve. Because the work accomplished has been published in a wide variety of sources the literature is difficult to locate. Despite the existence of Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts (the primary bibliographic resource in the field of linguistics) the linguistics literature is often found in other sources. In addition, the literature of the subfield of pidgins and creoles is even more scattered and harder to find. There is no comprehensive compilation of literature on the languages of St Vincent & the Grenadines. The classic A bibliography of pidgin and creole languages (Reinecke, John E. et al. Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press, 1975) has never been updated. Keywords: creoles; language contact; varieties of English; bibliography

The study demonstrates that to interpret the patterns of variation between creole and standard variants the effects of globalising processes need to be considered next to local ideologies. Keywords: social meaning of variation; tense marking; language and identity; globalisation

This chapter examines the use of pronouns in Bequia English, considering the quantitative distribution of subject and non-subject pronoun forms in subject and object position in the spontaneous speech of 18 speakers from three villages. We contrast the case-based Standard English pronominal system with a system in which pronoun forms are not distinguished in subject and object. While some dialects of British English exhibit “pronoun exchange” similar to the patterns found in Caribbean English, the distribution in Bequia more clearly reflects norms attested in the Caribbean since the late 18th century, rather than that of English dialects. Quantitative analysis shows that the distribution of nonstandard subject and non-subject pronouns is to a large extent correlated and that co-occurrence patterns, while largely idiosyncratic, show some tendency to differentiate villages on the island.* Keywords: variation; pronouns; Bequia; quantitative sociolinguistics

The poetic and strategic use of language by women in rural St Vincent is explored. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in 1992–1993 and 1998 in three leeward villages, the author offers examples of women using their verbal skills to reframe instances of stigmatized talk as part of their reputation-management. Women’s speech practices are shaped in part by a verbal aesthetic and sensitivity to voice that is noticeable in St Vincent. Their speech practices are also shaped by an ideology that stigmatizes certain speech genres as low-minded, yet which also stereotypes those genres as women’s genres. Finally, women’s speech practices are shaped by an ideology that “respectable” women should limit their public visibility. This is a challenge for women who must be more publicly visible in order to access the support networks beyond their houses/yards. But these ideological constraints also create the conditions for some very creative use of language. Some women are able to reframe stigmatized talk as acceptable talk by exploiting the somewhat ambiguous boundary between speech genres. Their verbal artistry is an important resource in this protection of reputation. Keywords: women and language strategies; reframing; stigmatized talk; reputation; gender stereotype

Drawing on both historical and contemporary data, this paper presents the attestations in Vincentian of the diagnostic features of English-lexified contact languages proposed by Baker & Huber (2001). This is followed by a comparison of the distribution of these features in Vincentian and in the seven Atlantic English-lexified Pidgins and Creoles considered by Baker & Huber (2001), and the quantification of the affinities of Vincentian with Antiguan, Bajan and Kittitian. A number of selected diagnostic features recorded in Vincentian are discussed in terms of their origin, relevance to the split between Western and Eastern Caribbean Creoles, and world-wide distribution. Keywords: English-lexified Creoles; diagnostic features; origin; classification; Atlantic; Western vs Eastern Caribbean; world-wide

After providing a brief description of du ‘do’, duhz ‘does’, and did ‘did’, the functions of duhn ‘done’ in Vincentian Creole are analysed. While some duhn uses illustrate an aspectual function reminiscent of the completive semantics of English ‘done’, Vincentian duhn cannot be accounted for as a simple marker of completive aspect. In fact, only its combination with dynamic verbs affords it the completive reading. Drawing on the intricate interplay of temporal, aspectual and modality properties observed, the study contends that the semantic characteristics of the verbs which this morpheme combines with significantly condition their interpretation and that the choice of duhn allows speakers to focus on entry into states or events or continuative aspect depending on predicate types. Furthermore, it is shown that speakers of Vincentian Creole did not randomly create new functional markers. Instead, linguistic elements which were already at work in other linguistic systems the speakers were in contact with were transferred into new linguistic systems and restructured. Essentially, these “borrowed” morphemes lent themselves to semantic and functional transfers. Keywords: completive; habitual and inceptive aspect; continuative; aspectual closure; stative and dynamic verbs; Vincentian creole

Languages of the Caribbean are fascinating and have been studied extensively. It is a particularly fertile ground for the study of pidgins and creoles and the interplay of language and culture and society. However, the languages of St Vincent and the Grenadines have not received the comprehensive attention they deserve. Because the work accomplished has been published in a wide variety of sources the literature is difficult to locate. Despite the existence of Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts (the primary bibliographic resource in the field of linguistics) the linguistics literature is often found in other sources. In addition, the literature of the subfield of pidgins and creoles is even more scattered and harder to find. There is no comprehensive compilation of literature on the languages of St Vincent & the Grenadines. The classic A bibliography of pidgin and creole languages (Reinecke, John E. et al. Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press, 1975) has never been updated. Keywords: creoles; language contact; varieties of English; bibliography
