Abstract

In Jamaica English is the only official language, but it isn't used among family members, friends, etc. by the majority of Jamaicans. In schools it's considered as second language for the pupils. On the contrary, Jamaican Creole, known as "Patois", is the language which is used in those contexts, although it's subordination to English started from its formation in early 16th century and has persisted to the present day. This language and its position in society reflect the brutal history of Jamaica as a British sugar colony until Independence in 1962. In this article we analyze the causes of why English has been used in limited contexts in spite of more than 500 years of it's domination and why recently Jamaican Creole is gaining more power as language of identity. To describe more precisely Jamaican Creole and its relation with English, we revise historical aspects, as well as linguistic phenomena like creolization, dicreolization, diglossia, etc. In the process we have observed that not only linguistic factors but also extralinguistic factors like politics, economy, education, religion and culture have influenced in the linguistic situation, making it more hybrid.
