Jamaica Talk: Three Hundred Years of the English Language in Jamaica

Author: Frederic G. Cassidy
ISBN: 0333136934

Jamaica talk is a thorough study of the English spoken in Jamaica and, although intended for the general educated reader rather than the linguistic specialist, has a foundation of sound scholarship which will make it authoritative for many years to come. Professor Cassidy, who was born and brought up in Jamaica, collected most of the material for his book when he was attached to the University College of the West Indies as Fulbright Research Fellow.
