Classification and Counter-Classification of Language on Saint Barthelemy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pressman, Jon F. – Language in Society, 1998
Analyzes the use of metapragmatic description in the ethnoclassification of language by native speakers on the Franco-Antillean island of Saint Barthelemy. A prevalent technique for metapragmatic description based on honorific pronouns that reflects the varied geolinguistic and generational attributes of the speakers is described. (Author/MSE)
