Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2, University of Linz, language: English, abstract: Singaporean English is spoken roughly by 4 million people as a postcolonial British English variety. This paper rests on the hypothesis that Singaporean English also underwent such a radical (language) development and differs considerably from Standard British English. In order to verify the assumption, this term paper analyses the characteristics of this variety and compares it to British Standard English. Firstly, the paper gives a brief overview on how Singapore has come in contact with the English language and how it has developed until now. Then Singaporean English is analyzed in depth in the areas of phonology, syntax/morphology, discourse particles, vocabulary and idioms. In the area of phonology, the Standard British English accent of Received Pronunciation (RP) is used as a reference, as it is the model of reference in terms of pronunciation commonly used in EFL/ESL classrooms and therefore, widely known. In the other areas Standard British English is referred to.
