Jamaican Creole

The importance to educational practice of linguistic research in the Caribbean has never been underplayed. Although linguistic descriptions have a validity all their own, it is in their application to educational practice that they can best serve our societies. Bailey, in the conclusion to her definitive work "Jamaica Creole Syntax", comments that the work should help "provide the basis for a thorough comparative study of the two languages on which alone satisfactory English language texts for the island's schools should be based." This paper hopes to look at the phenomenon of code-switching in Jamaican Creole by examining in detail certain actual speech situations, with a view to discovering how the classroom operation can benefit from first-hand knowledge of how situations tend to condition the individual's choice of speech style.

Precarious Situation

Study of sexual tourism in Saint Martin/Sint Maarten, where prostitution is a widespread reality.

She focuses on the precarious situation of the foreign prostitutes who have no working papers.

Political Imaginary

This book is a comparative study of the political emergence of Perón in Argentina and Vargas in Brazil. it seeks to describe and explain how and why peronism and Varguism were two different political projects. Using the tools of political discourse theory, this book scrutinises the implications Perón and Vargas had for the formation of the political identities of the socio-political actors in both countries. the book shows to what extent the differential character of the process of formation of political identities had to do both with the structural context in which Vargas and Perón developed their strategy as well as with the specific ways in which both leaders intervened in the political formation. In this sense, the research stresses the specific discursive and institutional modes of intervention that characterised these two leaders’ projects and their role in the political imaginary they inaugurated. It does so by tracing the responses to Perón and Vargas by different socio-political actors and the polemic context in which those responses took place.
