The Influence of the Lexifier : Beyond Grammaticalization in Singapore English PDF
by Debra Ziegeler
Part of the Language Contact and Bilingualism [LCB] series
Description
The study of language contact in the „new" English varieties is frequently influenced by sociolinguistic approaches and reference to substrate languages but much less often to functionally-based contact linguistic theory. In The Influence of the Lexifier, Ziegeler applies grammaticalization and other explanations of language change to many under-researched features of Singapore English, highlighting the role of the co-existing lexifier in the unique contact setting of Singapore.
