NAMES OF THE BODY PARTS IN THE ENGLISH-BASED JAMAICAN, BAHAMIAN, BELIZIAN AND TRINIDADO-TOBAGONIAN CREOLES
In the English-based Jamaican, Bahamian, Belizian, and Trinidado-Tobagonian creoles the absence of semantic development is inherent for the names of parts of the body derived from the original West-African lexical units. Formation of archaisms has been shown in the four creoles under investigation. The article limelights isomorphic and allomorphic lexical units’ features of the thematic group “Names of the Body Parts” in the English-based Jamaican, Bahamian and Belizian creoles.
