Creoles, Revisited: Language Contact, Language Change, and Postcolonial Linguistics , by Nicholas G. Faraclas & Sally J. Delgado (eds.)
Variation, Versatility and Change in Sociolinguistics and Creole Studies, by John Russell Rickford
This collection of essays provides a comprehensive review of John Rickford's achievements in the field of English-based creole studies.Three essential aspects of his (and others') research contributions to sociolinguistics are developed.First, the book points to the crucial importance of data collection as the best way to invalidate the traditional linguistic prejudice toward native pidgins and creoles in postcolonial contexts.Secondly, it offers…
Palatalization: A Persistent Rule of English
Proceedings of the 2nd Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society (1976), pp. 158-167
Creoles, Contact, and Language Change: Linguistic and social implications
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.…
Creole and Dialect Continua
Anaphoric reference in creoles and noncreoles
Anaphoric referential mechanisms are comparatively analyzed in a creole-related set of varieties (the Belizean continuum) and a noncreole language variety (formal and informal styles of American English), with the intent to evaluate the claim that creole languages display linguistic systems distinct from those of other languages. Three categories of topic referents (nominal, pronominal, and periphrastic) are identified in 27 Belizean texts and 12…
Topic Structures As Language Universals
The continuous process of language mixing which takes place in the development of creole continua is particularly suited to favor the emergence of language universals. Topic-comment structures are found to be extensively used in English-based Caribbean basilects. Furthermore, topic prominence is also characteristic of the mesolectal and acrolectal va-rieties acquired by native speakers of creole vernaculars. Topic strategies are identified as the…
Contrastive patterns of intragroup and intergroup interaction in the creole continuum of Belize
The decreolization process observed in the creole continuum of Belize, Central America is examined in relation to the extralinguistic factor of ethnicity. The speech patterns of Creole speakers are analyzed in terms of two distinct types of ethnic contact, namely, intragroup communication vs. interaction with Black Caribs. Decreolization is viewed as a code-switching phenomenon which affects all native speakers of creole without implying a unifie…
