- W3086393895 abstract "This study has one main aim, which is to ascertain how the semantic categories of tense-aspect-modality (TMA) are expressed in a lesser-known Caribbean Creole variety,Bastimentos Creole English (BCE). It presents an analysis of TMA markers in BCE andtheir interaction, as well as exploring the functions of the unmarked verb, on the basis ofcross-linguistic discussions of tense-aspect-modality subcategories from differenttheoretical angles. Semantic areas such as continuative aspect and counter-presuppositionprove particularly interesting based on typological generalisations.The motivations behind this synchronic description of BCE is to put the language into itslinguistic and regional context by making some comparisons with other English Creolevarieties in the Caribbean. This is of interest since Ethnologue assigns the same languageISO classification code (International Organisation for Standardisation) to both JamaicanCreole (JC) and BCE. The findings presented here challenge to some extent the basic ideathat BCE is no different from JC. This study sets out from the beginning to treat BCE as alanguage in its own right. Semantic areas in which BCE differs to JC are past tense,habitual aspect, and non-epistemic possibility, amongst others.The second motivation is to document an endangered vernacular that receives no officialidentification as a language, other than a general English-based Creole in Panama (which isthe identification given both by UNESCO and Ethnologue), and to ascertain to what extentBCE is an endangered language based on the evaluations of the degree of vitality providedby these official bodies.A final motivation is to challenge the idea that creole languages are simpler than noncreole languages. In this respect, it is important that detailed studies of grammaticalsystems of more creole languages continue to be carried out, in order to address na�veviews of the structure and genesis of creoles." @default.
