The Department of Language, Linguistics and Philosophy and Arawak Publications will launch a book “Language in Jamaica” a true story from Dr. Pauline Christie’s fascinating and simply written book on Friday, November 28 at 6:00 p.m. at the Undercroft, the University of the West Indies, Mona.
All kinds of odd ideas about Language in Jamaica constantly find their way to the airwaves and newspapers, with some people actually believing that “Patois is not a language” or that “Jamaicans have no language, therefore they are aggressive”. Autographed copies will be on sale.
