Question

A language planning campaign in this country used images of post-its correcting a creole to the prestige dialect, to which some responded with post-its correcting the prestige dialect to the creole. An English-based creole that is unusually syllable-timed and topic-prominent is spoken in this country, also the home of a “bazaar” or “pasar” pidgin. A creole in this country uses the word “already” as an aspect marker and often ends sentences with discourse particles such as (*) “lah” or “leh,” (10[1])due in part to Teochew (10[1])and Hokkien influence. This country’s language planning efforts include the Speak Good English Movement and the Speak Mandarin Campaign; those two languages, along with Malay and Tamil, constitute this country’s four official languages. For 10 points, name this city-state home to many speakers of Singlish. ■END■
