Annotation
C. argues that in studying language acquisition in a Caribbean sociolinguistic complex, both the description of the language to be acquired and the account of the acquisition process should be based on the same corpus produced in the learning environment by the learner and the participants in his/her language socialization. He uses data from the environments of two informants to support the argument.
