Noël Bernard Biagui, 2017, Description générale du créole afro-portugais de Ziguinchor (Sénégal)
With this volume, Noël Bernard Biagui, a native speaker of the Afro-Portuguese creole of Ziguinchor (ZC), has produced an admirable piece of scholarship, brought to a successful conclusion despite multiple challenges, among which the author’s considerable financial hardships during his student years (see p. 317). Born and raised in the Casamance ZC-speaking village of Sindone (southern Senegal), and later educated in provincial Ziguinchor (where …
On the controversial origins of non-canonical Spanish and Portuguese negation
Orality, Identity, and Resistance in Palenque (Colombia)
Located near Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, Palenque is a former Afro-Hispanic maroon community that has recently attracted much national and international attention. The authors of this collection examine Palenque’s linguistic, geographic, and cultural origins from interdisciplinary and theoretically diverse perspectives. Extensive in situ fieldwork and long-term familiarity with the Palenquero community form the basis of the seven essays, all o…
The Iberian Challenge
Creole languages lexified by Spanish and Portuguese have played a relatively small role in theories of creole genesis. This volume argues that there is not a priori reason to give English and French-based plantation creoles a preferential treatment, but shows that Iberian-based creoles demonstrate a diversity of complex circumstances that any overarching theory of creole genesis ought to take into account.

Colombia’s racial crucible
Heterogeneous patterns of admixture reveal a genetic substructure within the Department of Bolivar. On the paternal side, five out of the six communities studied exhibit a predominantly European gene pool. The exception is Palenque, where European input (38%) is more significant than we had expected
Palenque (Colombia). Oralidad, identidad y resistencia
Pidgin and Creole Studies
Until recently, dialectologists and general linguists with an interest in Hispanic or Lusophone studies essentially ignored pidgin or creole languages (for example, Bozal Spanish, Palenquero, Papiamento, São Tomense, and so on), several of which may be key for an understanding of the evolution of Spanish and Portuguese, especially as regards vernacular registers (including vernacular Brazilian Portuguese, popular Caribbean Spanish, and so forth).…
Intonation in Palenquero
The least understood aspect of Palenquero phonology is its intonational system. This is a serious gap, as it is precisely in the realm of prosody that the most striking phonological differences between Palenquero and (Caribbean) Spanish are apparent. Although several authors have speculated that African influence may be at the source of Palenquero’s peculiar intonation, to date published research offers no detailed information about the intonatio…

Creoles, Contact, and Language Change
This volume contains a selection of fifteen papers presented at three consecutive meetings of the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics, held in Washington, D.C. (January 2001); Coimbra, Portugal (June 2001); and San Francisco (January 2002). The fifteen articles offer a balanced sampling of creolists’ current research interests. All of the contributions address questions directly relevant to pidgin/creole studies and other contact languages.…

The Linguistic Geography of ‘criollo’ in Spanish America
On the (African) origins of Palenquero subject pronouns
A principal aim of this paper is to show that (1) the Palenquero (Colombia) pronominal system in toto needs to be revised in the direction of greater Africanicity, and (2) speakers of Kikongo must have played a dominant role in the formation of Palenquero. This study offers evidence for the multiple (European, African, and Euro-African) origins of the Palenquero person/number markers. I argue that the traditional etymological analyses of these ma…

Future and Conditional in Palenquero
Previous research (including the recent monographs of Friedemann & Patino Rosselli 1983 and Megenney 1986) states that Palenquero (henceforth PAL) has but a single future particle — tan — and lacks overt irrealis markers to express conditionals. This paper takes issue with earlier claims by showing that this creole language in fact has an additional irrealis marker — ake or its variants k(e) — whose principal function is to signal future and cond…
Negation in Palenquero
A conspicuous feature of Palenquero (P) morphosyntax is the unusual, though by no means unique, often clause-final or sentence-final placement of the predicate negator nu 'not', e.g., i [NU] kelé bae aya NU 'I don't want to go there'. Previous descriptions, often cited in the literature, present oversimplified (and, therefore, misleading) accounts of the data. This paper attempts to rectify the descriptions found in Bickerton & Escalante [B&E] (1…

Word-Order Changes in Predicate Negation Strategies in Romance Languages
Through the detailed investigation of changes in predicate negation patterns of numerous, often poorly documented informal spoken varieties of Romance vernaculars (including Romance-derived creoles), this paper explores the view that despite considerable formal differences, languages tend to travel down a common hierarchy of changes in negation. Particular attention is paid to a 'new', clause- or sentence-final negation pattern (e.g. Braz. Port. …
