Variability in the Use of Perfect "Have" in Trinidadian English: A Problem of Categorical and Semantic Mismatch.
Winford, Donald
Language Variation and Change, v5 n2 p141-87 1993
Variations in the use of perfect "have" and its alternatives in the Trinidadian creole continuum are examined, based on data from a sample of speakers from different social backgrounds. The findings have implications for the study of morphosyntactic variation in other divergent dialect situations. (Contains 56 references.) (Author/LB)
