The team, at the invitation of collaborators in Aruba, engaged in English Creole Language data collection in the San Nicolas community of Aruba for three days. It then spent the remaining three days transcribing snippets of the data collected and converting these into the beginnings of a community-based grammar of ECA. The first deliverable, in the form of an initial working draft to be presented to the community at the end the week is what this present work represents. It designed to give a sense of what a full description of the language would be like. However, given the constraints of time and the immediate needs of the community, the focus will be on areas of ECA that significantly deviate from standard varieties of International English.
