Description

Singlish is the colloquial variety of English spoken in Singapore.

It has sparked much public debate, but so far the complex question of what Singlish really is and what it means to its speakers has remained obscured.

This important work explores some of the socio-political controversies surrounding Singlish, such as the political ideologies inherent in Singlish discourse, the implications of being restricted to Singlish for those speakers without access to standard English, the complex relationship between Singlish and migration, and the question of whether Singlish is an asset or a liability to Singaporeans.

These questions surrounding Singlish illustrate many current issues in language, culture and identity in an age of rapid change.

The book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of World Englishes and sociolinguistics.

Its detailed analysis of the Singlish controversy will illuminate broader questions about language, identity and globalization.
