LING 2801 (Sandra Evans)
Structure and Usage of French-Lexicon Creole
Lecturers: R. Sandra Evans
This course is designed both as a foreign language course and as one in the structure of the language. Students will be trained in oral and written expression and comprehension, as well as receiving instruction in the structure of the language. Students will be exposed to a wide range of French-lexicon Creole texts both written and oral, and including the lyrics of popular music. Problems of orthography, standardisation and instrumentalism will be discussed, and a deliberate effort made to provide students with exposure to the major dialects of French-lexicon Creole spoken in the Caribbean.
Pre-requisite: None
