Igboanusi, Herbert2017-08-212017-08-212006Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, vol. 42 (2006), pp. 393-4040081-6272http://hdl.handle.net/10593/19036This study investigates the syntactic features of Nigerian English which have been created through the following processes – the use of subjectless sentences, reduplication, double subjects, Pidgin-influenced structures, discourse particles, verbless sentences, and substitution. It observes that the fact that some features of Nigerian English syntax are shared by other new Englishes is a healthy development for the identity of non-native varieties around the world. It finally recommends the codification of the new norms into variety-specific grammars and a common grammar of new Englishes.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
