Documenting a Creole
This article explores a community-based approach to language documentation in a multilingual, creole-speaking environment. Cavite Chabacano is a highly endangered creole spoken in the Philippines, and its speakers mostly belong to the grandparental generation. In order to ensure its documentation and explore possible new paths to revitalization that go beyond documentation, this study takes as its point of departure the perspectives of community …
Creole onomastics
This article examines naming practices in creole languages and in scholarly discourse, addressing names in and for creole languages. It asks what constitutes a ‘creole name’, how the input languages affect and shape creole onomastics, and when creole serves as a glossonym and when as a class noun for a group of languages. Drawing on examples from diverse creoles, the overview shows that while many names originate from superstrate sources, they of…
Creole identity, transnational migration, and Language endangerment in a Philippine context
This paper examines changes in Chabacano (Philippine Spanish Creole) identity in the national and global context of mass migration, focusing on the case of Cavite City, Philippines. Based on qualitative analysis of sociolinguistic, ethnographic, and literary data, we analyze translocal cultural and hybrid language practices in the context of language endangerment in the Cavite Chabacano-speaking community. The results show that due to the effects…
Plural nouns in contact
In Chabacano, certain words from the lexifier language Spanish have been adopted in their plural-derived form, although their number is singular. These invariable plural forms can also be found in Philippine languages as Spanish loanwords, without the plural marker that is common for these languages. This article presents an inventory of the invariable plural words in Chabacano and offers a detailed analysis of their semantics. The results are us…
From Nordic to Hispanic - Shift in a Family’s Given Names
This article examines historical changes in naming practices through first names in a region of Argentina with a history of migration from Northern Europe. First names in a migrant family are used as a case study and different periods compared. The data show the use of Nordic names in the first generations, with a drastic change towards Hispanic first names from the third generation onwards. Also hybrid naming practices that combine both Nordic, …
Spanish contact influence in a Finnish heritage community in Misiones, Argentina
This study examines contact outcomes in Finnish spoken in a heritage community in Misiones province, Argentina, in the 1970s. The data show limited morphosyntactic differences from dialectal varieties of Finnish, and most of the Spanish influence is lexical loans or sporadic codeswitches that have an emphatic function. The results show that beyond established lexical loans, both fluent and less fluent speakers avoid mixing and comment on it when …
The macrosociolinguistics of language contact
This contribution provides an overview of macrosociolinguistic approaches to the study of language contact, with a focus on contact languages. It addresses the current state of the art and future of the field. It also reflects on the global inequalities of power in the study of contact languages and the ways in which research on contact languages can serve as a model for North-South cooperation. Studies on contact languages and their histories of…
The lexicon and creole formation
There is disagreement as to the formation period of Chabacano, Philippine Creole Spanish. This article examines lexical items that have been claimed to stem from an early period of formation of Chabacano ( Jacobs & Parkvall 2020 ). As a response to these claims, we show with ample dialectological and diachronic evidence that Chabacano items ansina ‘this way, like this,’ endenantes ‘a little while ago’, onde ‘where,’ and vos ‘2 sg ’ are compatible…
Contact-induced Grammatical Change and Independent Development in the Chabacano Creoles
This study examines variation and change among three Chabacano varieties. While there has been considerable debate on how these Spanish-lexified creoles formed and how they are related, there has been no comprehensive comparison of their grammatical features. Based on frameworks of contact-induced grammaticalization, this paper compares three areas of Cavite, Ternate, and Zamboanga Chabacano grammar: modality, reciprocal marking and argument mark…

A new window into the history of Chabacano
Theories about the origin of the Spanish-lexified creoles of the Philippines known as Chabacano have been based on scarce historical samples. This article presents two early Chabacano texts that are more than twenty years older than the ones that have been available so far: ‘ La Buyera ’, from 1859, and ‘ Juancho ’, from 1860. Based on a comparison with historical and contemporary sources pertaining to Philippine-Spanish contact varieties, the te…
