PODCAST 160 BAJANSUB© 2022 ISBN978-976-96893-9-8 Wikipedia has advocated that Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. The way speakers interpret the things they feel, hear and see can be complicated because it is influenced by personal experiences, norms, cultural rules, traditions and languages. Thoughts come from words and these thoughts initiate behaviours. Hence behaviour change when you speak a different language. It is known that people in general can switch between different ways of interpreting events and feelings which becomes a phenomenon known as frame shifting. This statement coupled with my aha moment as I observed the Atlantis Submarine manoeuvring to submerge in Barbados’ aquamarine provoked my thinking and inspired me to create a new word Bajansub. Bajansub is a made up word coined from a combination of words Bajan and Submarine. This new word Bajansub has the characteristics of a figure of speech in which this word and phrase is understood in two ways. (a) It behaves like a double entendre which is language itself is part of linguistic culture and (b) it is learned rather than transmitted genetically. In addition Bajansub is a blend which negotiates with the action of abridging and then combining various lexemes to form this new word which is grounded in the doctrine of Portmanteau, Double Entendre,Acculturation, Cultural Blending across the genres of Bajan Music, Festivals, Food, and commingling with the Bajan ’Natural Beauty including Beaches, Caves, its Citizens,and its Ecosystems. Geographically, according to Barbados University of West Indies Seismic Research Centre Barbados lies in the Northern Atlantic Ocean and is the easternmost island in the Lesser Antilles. It is 34 kilometres (21 miles) long and up to 23 km (14 mi) wide, covering an area of 432 km (167 sq mi). Since I am a Bajan, and a License Cultural Practitioner, who analyse the Bajan culture periodically it is natural for me to be captivated with the intricacies of culture which maybe perceived as a cognitive bias. Bajansub is an abstract notion and an ostensible reason to discourse different aspects or areas in linguistics especially the study of a language since it certainly helps global citizens to navigate phonology,” “phonetics,” “morphology,” “syntax,” and “semantics”during conversations.
