Young Singaporean EnglishCurrent Developments in CSE Morphosyntax in a Digital World\nAuthor(s): Jakob R. E. Leimgruber, Wilkinson Daniel Wong Gonzales, Mohamed Hafiz, Jun Jie Lim, Nick Huang, Mie Hiramoto\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9781009634731, 978-1009634731\nSynopsis\nThe analysis of newly or recently emerged grammatical and lexical forms in Colloquial Singapore English is the main objective of this Element. Using corpus, survey, and interview data from different age groups, we shed light on the spread of language change across generations and ethnicities. Existing descriptions of CSE as a high-contact L1 variety of English in the late stages of endonormative stabilisation do not fully capture Singapore's continued multilingual ecology: source languages remain in active use alongside CSE, enabling ongoing cross-linguistic influence. Innovative uses resulting from contact can be observed.
