Navigating prestige variants across multiple dimensions
In this study, we examine which characteristics are routinely associated with linguistic variants, and how the sociolinguistic and societal landscape may influence the range of possible characteristics by analyzing realizations of /r/ and /w/ in Haitian Creole. In Haitian Creole, [r] and [w] are attested allophones for both phonemes (e.g. Hogan & Allen 1999 ). Using data from 40 Haitian Creole speakers, we conduct a variationist sociolinguistic a…
Le parler swa en créole haïtien
Dans cette étude, nous proposons d’examiner le créole francisé parlé en Haïti, communément appelé kreyòl swa (KS), une variété parlée par des locuteurs bilingues, telle que définie par Fattier-Thomas (1984) et Valdman (2015). Selon ces auteurs, le KS présente des traits phonologiques et syntaxiques distinctifs, tels que l’utilisation de voyelles antérieures arrondies, la nasalisation du déterminant /la/ en contexte non nasal, la réalisation postv…
Sociolinguistic challenges and new perspectives on determining French speakers in Creole communities
This study examines the sociolinguistic challenges and explores new perspectives on the evaluation of French competency in creole-speaking communities, particularly in Haiti. Due to the absence of an effective and adaptable French proficiency test in the country, the percentage of Francophones often varies between 5 % and 10 %, and as high as 42 %. This inconsistency may be the result of the assumption that schooling is an effective metric of Fre…
On the influence of Kreyòl swa
The Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) spoken by bilingual speakers is a prestigious form of speech generally referred to as Kreyòl swa (KS), where Frenchified features (e.g. front rounded vowels) are often used. In contrast, monolingual speakers use Kreyòl rèk (KR), a variety in which Frenchified features do not generally occur ( Fattier-Thomas 1984 ; Valdman 2015 ). In this article, I establish the nasalization of the definite determiner /la/ in non-nasal…
