The Influence of the Lexifier : Beyond Grammaticalization in Singapore English
Overview

In The Influence of the Lexifier, Ziegeler applies grammaticalization and other explanations of language change to many under-researched features of Singapore English, highlighting the role of the co-existing lexifier in the unique contact setting of Singapore.
