John Jacob Thomas : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Jacob Thomas John Jacob Thomas, who published as J. J. Thomas (1841-1889) was a Trinidadian linguist and writer. He wrote a grammar of Trinidadian Creole (1869), but is best known for ''Froudacity'' (1889), a rebuttal of J. A. Froude's 1888 book ''The English in the West Indies''. ==Early life== John Jacob Thomas was born into poverty in South Trinidad in the year 1841—a couple of years after the apprenticeship period was over in the British West Indies. As a child, he grew up around those who knew what servitude was like and who longed for freedom. His early years are touched upon in his most famous novel, ''Froudacity'', where he states he had been “familiar since childhood with members from every tribe in Africa.” From 1858 to 1860, Thomas was enrolled as a student in Woodbrook, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. In early 1860, he received his first job as a teacher and worked for five years teaching children in the towns of Couva and Savonetta in Trinidad and Tobago. In 1869, his book ''The Theory and Practice of Creole Grammar'', was published. He was no longer a teacher but he continued developing knowledge, engaging in debates, and contacting the Press with his opinions.
