From the publisher
Pollard analyses the speech code of the Rastafari of Jamaica, a group that adjusted the languages of the Jamaican people to suit their religious, philosophical, social and economic concerns as people speaking from "under". The book includes descriptions of Dread Talk, the speech of the Rastafari, as an example of lexical expansion in a creole language, and the influence of the lexicon on Jamaican English.
