Lion Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi, I had planned to pretend to interview Bob Marley to ask about his attitude towards English, creoles and pidgins, and linguistic imperialism. The issue is that I am supposed to show how his use of language express his identity and he speaks in Jamaican English, so I am supposed to write his answers for the interview in Jamaican English too? Any ideas if I have understood this correctly? I would really appreciate any help! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
voh26 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yes, that's right. It'll be much more authentic that way and you will be demonstrating your basic grasp of Jamaican English. Don't forget also that you need to reveal your K&U of linguistic imperialism and the role of creole and pidgin English in his songs. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is usually code-switching in different interviews between formal English, Patois (creole language), so I will try to make some consistency so the teacher would understand the answers( as you said basic grasp of Jamaican Patois English). Sorry what did you mean by K&U? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
