Reduplication in Nigerian English
Reduplication is attested in Nigerian English even though it does not constitute a productive part of the grammar of Inner Circle Englishes. The goal of the present paper is to examine the functions of reduplication in Nigerian English through qualitative analysis. Reduplication is widespread in the ancestral languages spoken in Nigeria. Nevertheless, we postulate that the presence and maintenance of reduplication in Nigerian English are correlat…

Marginalized peoples, racialized slavery and the emergence of the Atlantic Creoles
A comparison of some of the assumptions that underpin current debates among linguists over the emergence of creole languages with some of those that undergird recent debates among historians over the emergence of racialized slavery reveals some common biases that render both of limited utility in their quest to account for the facts. Partisans on either side of both controversies tend to put forward simplistic, mono-causal explanations for highly…
Agency in the Emergence of Creole Languages: The role of women, renegades, and people of African and indigenous descent in the emergence of the colonial era creoles
This book is a ‘must read’ for those who are looking for fresh perspectives on the process of creolization of language. Focusing on peoples whose agency has too often been rendered invisible in colonial and neo-colonial history and on voices which have too often been silenced in linguistic accounts of creole genesis, this volume considers socio-historical and linguistic evidence that attests to the important roles played in the emergence of the A…

Globalization and the future of Creole languages
The plantation system that gave rise to many existing creoles can be said to be the prototype upon which the current wave of corporate globalization has been modeled (Linebaugh 1992). The daily wages received by the majority of workers worldwide at the beginning of the 21st century are not even equal to half the value of the daily food rations received by plantation slaves at the beginning of the 19th in the Greater Caribbean or at the beginning …

Nigerian Pidgin and the Languages of Southern Nigeria
Although several linguists have noted the similarities between the Atlantic Creoles and West African languages, none has systematically compared the structures of a geographically and genetically balanced sample of West African languages with a creolized language of the Atlantic Basin. This study examines the structural similarities between Nigerian Pidgin and all of the languages of southern Nigeria for which fairly comprehensive descriptions ha…
