Description:In this volume, the emergence of English in Saipan is examined in the complex context of its colonial past.

A general overview of the English spoken in Saipan and detailed analyses of selected morphosyntactic features are presented. The English spoken by the local people presents an interesting transitional phase of English becoming a first language with unique local ‘island’ features.
