This paper integrates work on English in Puerto Rico by presenting a profile which describes the uses and users of English on the Island, through the underlying political, educational, sociolinguistic, and literary contexts. This is followed by a brief discussion connecting English in Puerto Rico to the Concentric Circle Model. It concludes with the author's contention that it might be advantageous to label English in Puerto Rico as Puerto Rican English.
