	Postcolonial Literature of the Caribbean, A Pathfinder
		In this postcolonial era, the culture of Caribbean societies still bear historical, political, linguistic, and cultural influences of colonization, and postcolonial theories are being utilized to develop critical frameworks by which to understand the impact of these influences on contemporary forms of cultural expression which have developed in the Caribbean.
		Caribbean authors of the postcolonial era have written important works which reflect the experience of slavery, cultural oppression, colonization, and the complex relationships which developed between the colonized and the colonizer.
		In studying the postcolonial Caribbean and its literature, researching the history of discovery, slavery, imperialism, colonization, and independence movements in the Caribbean is an important foundation for a critical analysis of its art, literature and culture.

	Caribbean Poetry -- Nation Language
		Although English is the official national language of many islands in the Caribbean, the people who live in the Caribbean speak in something other than the standard norm.
		We also have what we call creole English, which is a mixture of English and an adaptation that English took in the new environment of the Caribbean when it became mixed with the other imported languages.
		But this very submergence served an interesting interculturative purpose, because although people continued to speak English as it was spoken in Elizabethan times and on through the Romantic and Victorian ages, that English was, nonetheless, still being influenced by the underground language, the submerged language that the slaves had brought.

	Polyrhythm and the Caribbean
		In the introduction to his Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage, Richard Allsopp charts the difficulties and problematics of lexiconography in the Anglophone Caribbean.
		As these samples will show, this aspect of Caribbean English presents a problem in the quantity of French Creole loans in free operation especially in St Lucia, so that a limitation, to a large extent subjective, had to be put on their selection for entry into this Dictionary.
		Irish influence, through the early 'barbadoesing' (a unique place-name verb in the English language) of post-Cromwellian bond-servants and their being quartered next to slaves, played the particular role of distinguishing Barbadian pronunciation of English; and ultimately from that base Irish English played a wider lexical role, especially in idiomatic input, in general Caribbean English.

	Society for Caribbean Linguistics - FAQs
		It would sound decidedly odd to Caribbean ears to say "I'm a Caribbean living in the Caribbean." 'Caribbean' is never used as a noun by Caribbean people in the Caribbean to describe or refer to themselves, and is in fact considered strange, and/or viewed negatively as non-standard usage.
		Most Caribbean varieties of English are as old as Early Modern English, the period in the history of English (1500-1700) when Modern English began to undergo standardisation.
		English was often negatively compared to Latin and French (even up to recently), and some felt that English did not have the expressive power of French, or the scientific authority of Latin.

	SCL Frequently Asked Questions
		'Caribbean' is never used as a noun by Caribbean people in the Caribbean to describe or refer to themselves, and is in fact considered odd, and/or viewed negatively as non-standard usage.
		Anglophone Caribbean people call themselves 'West Indians' or 'Caribbean people'; francophone Caribbean people call themselves 'antillais'; hispanophone Caribbean people call themselves 'caribeños', and Dutch-speaking Caribbean people call themselves 'Caraïbisch' or 'Antillean' in English (this is subject to correction!).
		Up to the 1960s, since anglophone Caribbean territories began to gain independence from 1962 onward, most varieties of Caribbean English were identified with British English, because of politics, and despite linguistic differences (some conservative, some progressing in different directions).

	Prospects for Service Exports
		The intended audience is policy-makers in the countries covered by the report, namely: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.
		English-speaking Caribbean manufacturing, tourism, and other service firms that rely on intermediate service inputs, such as information and systems management services, would benefit from development of an internationally competitive service sector in the region.
		The countries of the English-speaking Caribbean, however, will have to address difficult issues constraining development of the service export sector, and private sector in general, in order to realize these prospects.

	Polyrhythm and the Caribbean
		Although many words in the Anglophone Caribbean have their source in the influence of different imperial powers clashing together (as in St. Lucia, which went back and forth between French and British control at least fourteen times), Allsopp looks elsewhere for roots of this version of English.
		As a cross-referencing exercise in the labelling of the Caribbean ecology and the idioms of the regional life-style, as a record, through the large availability of citations of the sameness-with-differences in the historical and social background to the wide spread of Caribbean literature, Caribbean lexicography is equipped to function as a cultural agent.
		The expansion of the Indic sub-culture in the mainstream of Caribbean culture is, however, relatively on a much larger scale and wider spread, especially in the Eastern Caribbean, and this is reflected in the Dictionary.
