Abstract
Widely used in the world, English has grown to many varieties in which one of them is everyday Singlish. Singlish is a kind of English spoken by Singaporean comÂŹmunities in informal situations. In everyday Singlish lexiÂŹcons not found in original English are ubiquitously used. The area of concern of etlinosemantics is the one with the appearance of the lexical semantics in a certain language. These lexicons have certain meanings, flavours and nuÂŹances that make a language specific and unique. This is due to the fact that this specific lexicon use has a close connection with a particular culture and race. The study of ethÂŹnoserr-antics in everyday Singlish shows that the uniqueÂŹness is closely related with Singaporean cultures. There fore, the study of ethnosemanties which is explorable from local varieties will help understand the cultures, the characÂŹteristics and the life of Singaporeans as a speech community.
