English’. With reference, as the target, to the grammar of what one could call standard
'international' English, the features in question are non-target-like in some way and in this paper
they are referred to also as 'Kenyan English forms'. They are discussed from the point of view of
second language acquisition and use, which provides a suitable framework for accounting for the
variability which, as observed in this study, characterizes their use. The paper concludes that the
development of such forms was inevitable: it is only natural that when a language is so widely
used (as English is in Kenya) as a second language, a number of such forms will come about as a
result of imperfect learning of the target language, and 'stick | en_US |
