1. Introduction 1.1. History of ICE-JA Work on the Jamaican subcomponent of ICE started in the early 1990s, when first contacts were established between Sidney Greenbaum, coordinator of the ICE project, and Kathryn Shields-Brodber at the University of the West Indies (Mona, Jamaica), with the help of Prof. Christian Mair (University of Freiburg). After starting an informal collaboration on the ICE-Jamaica project, most of the written material, as well as some of the spoken texts were collected between 1994 and 1996 by Prof. Mair and Andrea Sand (University of Freiburg). Further data material for the corpus was collected in the beginning of the 2000s by Lars Hinrichs and Dagmar Deuber (University of Freiburg), and in 2005 by Hubert Devonish (University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica) and students, who contributed most of the spontaneous spoken material. From 2005 to 2008, the project of completing the corpus and investigating changing language norms in Jamaica with the help of the data material collected was funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) as grant MA 1652/4. Over the years, the following people have contributed to the completion of the ICE-JA corpus by recording, compiling, transcribing, and/or proofreading texts for the corpus: Stefanie Rapp Lisa Wild Luminita Trasca Tina Schurreit

1.3. English in Jamaica English has been spoken in Jamaica since the island was first conquered by the British in 1655, when an expedition led by Penn and Venables took the island from the Spanish (Lalla & D’Costa 1990: 7). Jamaica remained under British rule as a colony until 1962, becoming an important producer of sugar cane and coffee and developing a culture of large plantations. The importation of large numbers of slaves from Africa, together with intensive language contact between these and speakers of regional varieties of English led to the development of a creole language, Jamaican Creole (locally usually referred to as patois or dialect), on the island in the seventeenth century (Lalla & D’Costa 1990: 16). In 1962, political independence was gained from Britain. Today, English remains the official language of Jamaica (Devonish 1986: 24). However, it is not the mother tongue of the large majority of the population, who speak Jamaican Creole as their first language (Patrick 2004: 408). The current language situation in Jamaica is characterized by the presence of a (post-) creole continuum (DeCamp 1961, 1971), in which a creole language (in this case, Jamaican Creole) coexists with its corresponding lexifier language (English), with fine gradations in intermediate varieties in between. The endpoints of this continuum are usually labelled basilect (designating the creole variety) and acrolect (designating its lexifier language), while intermediate varieties constitute one or several mesolect(s). English enjoys high prestige in Jamaica (Akers 1981: 9). With respect to its social distribution, use of English in terms of ethnicity “is still associated with the elite, which up to approximately fifty years ago consisted of mainly the white and nearwhite members of the population” (Christie 2003: 2). This historical background is also responsible for the high social and economic status that is attributed to speakers with proficiency in English (Akers 1981: 8/9). Moreover, use of English correlates with the level of education attained. As has been noted by Christie (2003), “[t]he ability to read and write Standard English remains the mark of an educated person” (Christie 2003: 39). Creole, on the one hand, is associated with rural origins and low levels of formal education or even illiteracy (Akers 1981: 8/9). With respect to ethnicity and social class, it is typically spoken by “the poorest members of the society, who are mostly black”, these being “labourers, small farmers, domestic helpers, small craftsmen and others belonging to the same social class as these” (Christie 2003: 2, see also Akers 1981: 8). Due to these 3

typical associations, prejudices exist within the Jamaican society against the use of Jamaican Creole, which in some quarters may still be perceived as “indicating a lack of intelligence” (Christie 2003: 5), as well as “illiteracy and ignorance” (Christie 2003: 39). At the same time, however, Jamaican Creole is also seen as “a symbol of national identity” indicating national pride, and there is evidence for a change in attitudes towards the two language varieties.

2. Markup conventions Markup of the texts included in the corpus generally follows the principles outlined in the ICE markup manuals (Nelson 2002a, 2002b). Textual markup encodes “features of the original text that would otherwise be lost” (Greenbaum 1996: 7), such as formatting information for the written texts, or pauses and sections of overlapping speech in the spoken material. The markup uses an SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language)-based system of tags enclosed in angled brackets. Thus, tags which enclose a stretch of text have the form …, with an opening and a closing tag belonging to each tag set, whereas a single tag is used to mark a particular point in the transcription (Nelson 2002a: 3, 2002b: 4). An overview of all tags used in the spoken and written component of the ICEJamaica corpus can be found in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.

2.1. Markup tags used in both components (written and spoken) •

In texts which are made up of two or more composite texts, the tag set … encloses the individual subtexts. For texts which are not made up of individual subtexts, the tag set encloses the entire text (Nelson 2002a: 3).

•

The tag marks the beginning of an individual text unit. In the written component, this “text unit” corresponds to a single sentence (Nelson 2002b: 5). In the spoken component, a text unit “correspond[s] loosely to [an] orthographic sentence”(Nelson 2002a: 4), although some text units may also be smaller in size, as in the case of incomplete sentences.

•

The tag set … is used to denote uncertain transcriptions, i.e. transcriptions for which some doubts of the transcribers exist as to their accuracy, but for which nevertheless a good guess can be made (Nelson 2002a: 8), e.g. I mean when he started to spell the word him voice change. The tag set is also used to denote uncertainties about speakers identity, as in

•

… is used to indicate illegible (in the written component) or unintelligible text (in the spoken component). An estimate of the approximate length of the untranscribed section is sometimes given between the two tags, 1 e.g. two-or-three-words

•

The markup ... is used to indicate extra-corpus speech, either speech produced by a speaker who does not meet the criteria for being included in the corpus (usually additionally identified as extra-corpus in the transcriptions by for the speaker’s ID), such as foreign fieldworkers conducting interviews, or whole text units of quotations that have been integrated into the speaker’s own text: And uhm what's your work here

•

Anthropophonics such as coughs, sneezes, or laughter are indicated by the tag set …, e.g. $A-laughs Tell me about your life at UWIclickstongue

1

The content between the two tags is connected by hyphens in order to avoid skewing the word count results. This procedure was adopted as hyphenation ensures that the entire sequence between the two tags will be counted as a single word.

This tag set is also used to indicate longer stretches of untranscribed text, such as commercials in radio or TV programmes … after these messagescommercials or untranscribed contributions in broadcast programmes: The vendors had mixed views about the impending movefour-speakers. •

The tag set … is used for editorial comments, e.g. break-in-recording or non-human background noises, such as telephones, machinery, cars on the road etc. telephone-rings

•

The tag set … denotes an incomplete word, as in It would look ni it would be nice if the Indian guy won.

•

… and … are used to mark discontinuous words, where one word is inserted into another. In this case, … is used for the original form of the word, and … for the normalized form.

•

The tag set … is intended mainly to facilitate automatic parsing and is used if a word begins or ends in an apostrophe, e.g. students’ certificates to signal the difference to an opening or closing quotation mark.

•

Names of speakers that have been changed in the transcription in order to preserve their anonymity, or other words which have been changed, receive … as markup: See Chantelle would do something illegal to be richgiggles

•

The tag set … marks quoted material that has been incorporated into the speaker's own speech, such as quotations within a speech, or the titles of books or movies. Helen White says here greatest evidence of the that can be presented to ordered well-disciplined

If a word is referred to explicitly as a word (and not as its referent), as in for example a class lesson on language, it is marked by …: 8

In this particular case what’s the determiner A •

The two tag sets … and … denote nonEnglish material included in the corpus. While … generally refers to words which are foreign and have not become integrated into English, … words have their origin in the language or languages of the country being sampled for the corpus. In the present corpus, this markup refers to either individual words from Jamaican Creole (see section 2.4 below), or to longer passages of Jamaican Creole: … mo and gbagbo in Yoruba which are equivalent to knowledge and belief in English And the likl one that was a always smiling People think me dainty and whatever you know but me reach ina di back and me a push and a gwan

•

The tag sets …, …, …, … are used for text normalization, either by the speaker him-/herself (e.g. repetitions, hesitations, self-repair), or, more rarely, by the transcribers of the corpus in order to facilitate syntactic parsing of the corpus texts. The entire range of words involved in this normalization process is included within the tags …. Deleted material such as the first of a number of repeated words is enclosed by …; the corrected version, if present already in the original text, by …. And one one of the levels of linguistic interaction in the workplace is the negotiation In cases where the corrected version was added by the corpus transcribers, the word in question is enclosed in … in order to signal that this is an addition and was not present in the original version of the text/recording. So who is your fafavourite You have any favourite actors actresses

2.2. Markup tags used in the spoken component •

Individual speakers in the texts of the spoken component of the corpus are identified by the tags , , etc. preceding their speech, with the first speaker in a text identified as speaker A, the next speaker as speaker B, etc. Yeah Y what’s your name Yeah my name is Sherika Johnson

•

The tag sets …, … are used to indicate overlapping speech by two or more speakers. The entire sequence of overlapping strings is marked by …, and individual speakers’ contributions are then enclosed by …. You must find something that you like No there’s nothing that interests me If more than one overlap occurs during one speaker’s turn, the respective overlaps are numbered in order to guarantee unique identification of corresponding overlaps: I heard people who uh got it rather a little cheaper but because I’m part-time I words Mhm How you you still part-time why you never change over

•

Pauses are indicated by the tags and . , indicating a short pause, corresponds to a “perceptible break in phonation” (Nelson 2002a: 4) of approximately one syllable’s length, whereas is used to denote longer pauses (two or more syllables at the speaker’s current tempo). Efforts by R J R news to contact Mr Robert Ramsey who is the general manager at the bank were unsuccessful

2.3. Markup tags used in the written component •

Words which are not usually written with a hyphen but which are hyphenated in the text are marked with the tag word-internally in place of the hyphen: This essay seeks to broaden this approach by discussing conflict over leisure and culture

•

Unusual spacing in the text is indicated by the markup tag .

•

Headings and subheadings are indicated by the tagset …, while paragraphs are enclosed by the tags

•

“Significant” (Nelson 2002b: 6) changes in typeface are marked with …. In addition, a description of the typeface used is added within the tag, following a colon: e.g.

•

Footnotes are marked by the tag sets … and …. While … denotes the footnote reference (usually a number in superscript), … indicates the main body of the footnote. Footnotes are inserted immediatedly after the sentences that refer to them, e.g. For analytical purposes, there are two types of peace: negative peace and positive peace.2 2. UNESCO. Thinking Head - UNESCO and the challenges of today and tomorrow. Paris, 1977.

•

Text that has been deleted by the author is marked with the tag set … : Each individual has several basic rights as a human beings.

•

Annotations at the margins of a text by the text’s author are indicated by …. They are inserted immediately after the sentences to which they refer.

2.4. Other transcription conventions Generally, wherever variability existed with respect to the spelling conventions of certain words in the spoken component (e.g. between the British and the American variants of hono(u)r), the British spelling was chosen for the transcription. For the abbreviated form of because cos was chosen over coz or cause. Transcription was carried out at the orthographic level, which means that the results of phonological processes such as the addition of an epenthetic vowel after voiced plosives, or metathesis (such as aks for ask) were not transcribed, unless these processes are typically Jamaican, e.g. the form likl for little. Words like these were marked as if entries for them could be found in either the Dictionary of Caribbean English (Allsopp 1996) or the Dictionary of Jamaican English (Cassidy and Le Page 21984). Moreover, passages that are distinctly creole in their lexis, morphology and/or syntax were marked as well.
