Insights in Cameroon English Variation: Identification, Influences and Pedagogic Perspectives
 
Valentine Njende Ubanako
University of Yaounde 1
 
Despite the bulk of studies on Cameroon English by scholars, most of them view Cameroon English as a single entity. This is the position held by Simo Bobda (1992), Mbangwana (1999), Kouega (2006), etc. This study posits that Cameroon English is a complex whole consisting of different varieties which have undergone significant influences from background languages. It therefore aims at identifying, classifying, describing and documenting Cameroon English as employed by different users for different purposes thereby highlighting the various forms and uses of Cameroon English  forms, major characteristic features and pedagogic implications. Data for this work was collected through interviews, questionnaires, tape-recorded material and assorted written texts. This study employed Crystal’s (1997) regional, social and occupational varieties framework,  Brosnahan’s (1958) and Banjo’s (1971) frameworks and Giles’ (1960) accommodation theory as the main theoretical premises. The data was analysed using the descriptive statistical method where responses and sets of responses are counted, percentages worked out and accounted for. Results indicate that there are educationally, regionally, socially and occupationally determined varieties of Cameroon English which serve to distinguish one lect from another.

World Englishes and Issues of Intelligibility
A Phonetic Approach
 
Venkanna Maagi
Osmania University
 
The aim of the present study is to investigate the native speakers' connected English speech and its phonetic features such as assimilation, elision, linking and r-Realization along with the role of such features in matters pertaining to the intelligibility of native speaker’s connected English speech. The study is of prime significance and relevant in today’s context of globalization and global communication. In the course of the study, twenty subjects have been selected from two inner circle countries: UK and USA with 10 subjects in each group and their speech specimens were recorded. The 20 subjects were the speakers of the study. For examining the intelligibility of native speaker’s connected English speech, the recorded speech samples of the 20 subjects were played to 200 listeners from outer circle countries and expanding circle countries with 10 listeners for each country. The test material of the study consisted of 10 short dialogues and a two-minute free speech rendered by each of the 20 subjects. The data was analyzed phonetically and perceptually. The phonetic description and transcription of the speech specimens was done based on the researcher auditory impressions. Listeners could understand British speech better than American speech, according to findings about American and British speakers. The study can be used in the ELT (English Language Teaching) and language planning studies too. Assimilation, elision, linking, and r-Realization are definitely playing a major role with regards to the issue of intelligibility. The intelligibility scores and the connected speech parameters are of great help for teachers of English, policy makers of English language education and the findings of this study will prove to be beneficial for native and non-native English speakers.

World Englishes and Creole Languages Today
Vol. I: The Schneiderian Thinking and Beyond
 
Aloysius Ngefac, Hans-Georg Wolf & Thomas Hoffmann (eds.)
University of Yaounde I, University of Potsdam, KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt | Hunan Normal University
 
This book demonstrates, in the context of the Schneiderian thinking and beyond, that world Englishes and creole languages today display interesting sociolinguistic, typological and pedagogic trends and tendencies. These trends and tendencies have been investigated and reported by Thomas Brunner, Thomas Hoffmann, Sarah Buschfeld, Wiebke Ahlers, Aloysius Ngefac, Arthur K. Spears, Kingsley Oluchi Ogwuanyi, Anthony Grant, Mie Hiramoto, Wilkinson Daniel Wong Gonzales, Jakob Leimgruber, Lim Jun Jie, Jessica X. M. Choo, Clifton D. Armstrong, Aya Inoue, David B Frank, Lisa Young, John R Rickford, Paula Prescod, and Christian Go Go. The book is unique and differs from previous works in many ways. First and foremost, it is one of the rare works that overtly bring world Englishes and creole languages together in the same volume, providing an opportunity for current trends to be investigated in the context of the groundbreaking work Edgar Schneider has already carried out in these two subfields of linguistics. Second, some paradigms in world Englishes and creole languages have been tested in different parts of the world with reference to current data and the results are reported in this book. Third, the book serves as a forum for reflections beyond the Schneiderian thinking.
