Colloquial Singapore English (CSE, commonly known as Singlish) is a linguistic variety used in Singapore, a Southeast Asian nation home to three major ethnic groups: the Chinese (74.35% of the citizen and permanent resident population), the Malays (13.43%), and the Indians (9%) (Singapore Department of Statistics, 2019). It is one of the best known post-colonial varieties of English and has been documented since the emergence of the field of world Englishes (e.g., Greenbaum, 1988; Richards & Tay, 1977). Linguistically, the grammar and lexicon of CSE are systematically imported from other non-English languages used in the island nation (Leimgruber, 2011). From a creolist perspective, it can be viewed as an English-lexifier creole that contains influences from Sinitic languages such as Hokkien, Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as Malay, Tamil and other varieties in the Singapore language ecology (McWhorter, 2007; Platt, 1975). Several distinct features across various levels of language have been investigated in CSE, including phonetics (Starr & Balasubramaniam, 2019), morphosyntax (Bao, 2010; Bao & Wee, 1999), semantics (Hiramoto & Sato, 2012), and pragmatics (Hiramoto, 2012; Leimgruber, 2016; Lim, 2007).

是新加坡口语英语吗:哪些变体可以告诉我们它的惯例和发展

新加坡口语英语(CSE,俗称 Singlish)是新加坡使用的一种语言变体,新加坡是一个东南亚国家,拥有三个主要民族:华人(占公民和永久居民人口的 74.35%)、马来人(13.43%) ,以及印度人(9%)(新加坡统计局,2019)。它是最著名的后殖民英语变体之一,自世界英语领域出现以来就有记录(例如,Greenbaum,1988;Richards & Tay,1977)。从语言上看,全面性教育的语法和词汇是系统地从岛国使用的其他非英语语言引入的(Leimgruber,2011)。从克里奥尔语者的角度来看,它可以被视为一种英语词汇化克里奥尔语,它包含了闽南语、粤语和普通话等华语语言以及新加坡语言生态中的马来语、泰米尔语和其他变体的影响(McWhorter,2007;Platt, 1975)。CSE 研究了不同级别语言的几个不同特征,包括语音(Starr & Balasubramaniam,2019)、形态句法(Bao,2010;Bao & Wee,1999)、语义(Hiramoto & Sato,2012)和语用学(Hiramoto) ,2012 年;Leimgruber,2016 年;Lim,2007 年)。
