- Title
What can you find on YouTube, that’s sociolinguistically interesting?: A look at the plural marking in the Virgin Islands Creole on St. Croix.
- Authors
Wrobel, Emilia
- Abstract
The article discusses a research note which explores the type of talk available from open-access mediated public data on YouTube and demonstrates its potential to be a source of vernacular speech such as creole talk. It presents a summary of the quantitative study conducted within variationist linguistics using data from News Channel 8 in Saint Croix, Virgin Island. It suggests that YouTube became a sociolinguistic environment and as a source of viable and valuable information.
