The SCL has published two compilations of Conference proceedings, entitled Studies in Caribbean Language I (1983), 26 papers edited by Lawrence Carrington et al, and Studies in Caribbean Language II (1998), 19 papers edited by Pauline Christie et al. The Society has also published Robert B. LePage's Ivory Towers: Memoirs of a Pidgin Fancier (2002), and Florence Blizzard and Nnamdi Hodge's Vini Chanté an Patwa (Come Sing in Patois) Songbook and CD (2009).
The SCL also publishes the SCL Occasional Papers (OP) Series, and the SCL Popular Series. The SCL OP Series makes scholarly productions of our members accessible to the wider community of linguists, and topics of OPs range from studies on phonological variation to the grammar of Dutch, English and French Creoles, Afro-Seminole, and Caribbean English. The Popular Papers appeal to those with a non-specialist interest in language, and in particular, language in the Caribbean. Topics of papers in this series include the importance of Creole Language Studies and research, and the role of Jamaican Creole in education. See below for a full listing of both Series, as well as an order form for available books and papers.
