It explores the use of Jamaican Creole phonetic and morphosyntactic features by Jamaican and non-Jamaican reggae and dancehall artists as well as Jamaicans' evaluations of this linguistic behaviour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile positive attitudes prevail, some Jamaicans take a rather negative stance and perceive the use of Jamiacan Creole as inauthentic, misrepresentative and stereotyping. The findings of \u003ci\u003eJamaican Creole in Global Reggae and Dancehall Performances \u003c\/i\u003eemphasise the importance of bringing together quantitative data on underlying patterns of language use and qualitative interview data on language perceptions and attitudes. Gerfer demonstrates that in a world of ongoing globalisation, World Englishes may become imitation-worthy codes which artists all across the globe use - more or less - proficiently and convincingly in their music performances.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47327552471289,"sku":"9781399535212","price":196.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NXvUQkl4Sx9781399535212_5813e5e0-552c-4107-aee1-5c9c21320cd6.webp?v=1769581218","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/jamaican-creole-in-global-reggae-and-dancehall-performances-language-use-perceptions-attitudes-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
