Abstract

Like other Englishes, Ugandan English is not a homogeneous variety. Being a second language to the vast majority of its multilingual speakers, it is, inevitably, influenced by their first languages. However, first language influence is just one factor that continues to shape Ugandan English. This paper reports on how influence from exonormative teaching models and the effects of migration, which constantly results in frequent and regular contact between second language speakers of various first languages, contribute to its architecture. It does so by focusing on and carefully investigating future time expressions in a corpus of authentic spoken interactions across Ugandans, the face-to-face conversations of the Uganda component of the International Corpus of English.

在第一语言影响、外来语倾向和迁移之间

和其他英语一样，乌干达英语不是一个同质的变体。作为绝大多数讲多种语言的人的第二语言，它不可避免地受到他们第一语言的影响。然而，母语的影响只是影响乌干达英语的一个因素。本文报道了外来语教学模式的影响和移民的影响，移民不断导致不同母语的第二语言使用者之间频繁而有规律的接触，这对其结构有何影响。它通过关注并仔细调查乌干达人真实口语互动语料库中未来的时间表达来做到这一点，该语料库是国际英语语料库中乌干达部分的面对面对话。

期刊介绍： English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
