Overview
Arguing that "it is a myth to assume that a language is a homogenous entity and can be studied as such," Wolf (English and American studies, Humboldt U., Germany) identifies Cameroon English as an independent English second language national variety and examines it through the lens of sociolinguistics. He further attempts to integrate cognitive anthropology's concept of "cultural models" into the discussion in order to understand the natural processes of language- culture interaction. Annotation c.
