@AnnaAnthro BREAKING: Man who moved to another country as a teenager adopts accent features of new home, code switches!

In this interview, the voice he uses while answering questions still has Jamaican accent features. I'm guessing if he ever goes back to the yards in Kingston he uses some form of patois...

"LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND IDENTITY IN ST. MARTIN is intended to contribute to the language education discourse and provide some insight into how language and culture affect and are affected by identity in St. Martin. Exploring the basic syntactical structure of the St. Martin language, it aims to stimulate further and deeper studies leading to a new awareness of the nature of the language. Furthermore, the book could serve to provide a knowledge base from which the analysis of cultural, identity, and educational issues confronting the South and North of this Caribbean island can be made and understood."
