Overview
Overview
This unique reference is the first attempt in over four hundred years to provide an authentic record of current English from twenty-two territories in the eighteen states of the Caribbean archipelago. The Dictionary surveys a range of over 20,000 words and phrases drawn from over 1000 written sources. A specially-designed system of labelling--four levels of identification from Creole to Formal and labels to denote social or grammatical register--provides maximum clarity and accessibility. Including hundreds of illustrative examples, Allsopp also includes etymological and usage notes and a short Supplement listing Caribbean French and Spanish equivalents.
