Abstract

This paper provides a comparative sketch of two emergent creoles: St. Lucia Creole English and Dominica Creole English. With very similar circumstances surrounding their formation and emergence, it is expected that they will have many features in common. While this is generally the case, however, this paper also outlines some areas in which their grammars diverge. This research represents original data for varieties that are somewhat under‐documented and calls for further data collection and fieldwork to confirm the patterns found here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
