A Survey of Sierra Leonean English

In "A Survey of Sierra Leonean English", Momodu Turay has assiduously and painstakingly highlighted the relevant features which characterise a variety of the English Language with a stamp of Sierra Leoneaness. It is hoped that native speakers and non-native speakers alike will be enlightened by this discourse and will realize that the Sierra Leonean does not have to sound like a British when he speaks English. The English language is one of the languages of Sierra Leone.

As an adolescent growing up in the Western Area of Sierra Leone, Dr Momodu Turay pursued his secondary school education at the Sierra Leone Muslim Congress and Ahmadiyya Secondary School in Freetown. He furthered his education at Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone where he obtained his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. Momodu has lectured in various tertiary institutions in the country. At present, he lectures at Fourah Bay College. His research interests include the status and use of the English Language in non-native context.
