  • Zones of intense linguistic contact and the situation of the Southern Caribbean

    Open AccessAnthony P Grant, Anthony GrantARTICLEScandinavian Studies in Language2024Referências: 1

    A number of areas on the world linguistic map show accretions of linguistic systems which have undergone intense exchange of features, including high degrees of (perforce) partial relexification, or extreme borrowing, in which preexisting features of a language are replaced by forms originating in other linguistic systems. These constitute a special kind of linguistic process, related to other language contact phenomena such as syntactic and sema…

  • On the origin of some Northern Songhay mixed languages

    Carlos M Benítez-Torres, Anthony P GrantARTICLEJournal of Pidgin and Creole…2017

    This paper discusses the origins of linguistic elements in three Northern Songhay languages of Niger and Mali: Tadaksahak, Tagdal and Tasawaq. Northern Songhay languages combine elements from Berber languages, principally Tuareg forms, and from Songhay; the latter provides inflectional morphology and much of the basic vocabulary, while the former is the source of most of the rest of the vocabulary, especially less basic elements. Subsets of featu…

  • Umberto Ansaldo. Pidgins and Creoles in Asia, 2012, ix + 170 pages. Amsterdam

    Open AccessAnthony P GrantARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2013

    This book was first published as the major part of a thematic issue of the Journal of Pidgin and Creole languages (2010: 1), and is here presented as it was published, with its original preface but now with an index of subjects and names. It comprises five papers and a brief editorial introduction. (Other material, including an obituary, guest columns, and reviews from the original issue are of course omitted.)The first chapter, dealing with Chin…

  • Mindanao Chabacano and other ‘mixed creoles’

    Anthony P GrantCHAPTERIbero-Asian Creoles2012

    Mindanao Chabacano owes many of its features (including over 10% of its basic and more of its non-basic lexicon) to the influence of Philippine languages, and some of its typological features, such as the basic VSO constituent order, typify Philippine languages but atypical of Ibero-Asian creoles as a whole. Its sizeable component of basic Philippine-derived vocabulary and its incorporation of structural features which cannot be traced back simpl…

  • The complex of creole typological features

    Anthony P Grant, Diana GuilleminARTICLEJournal of Pidgin and Creole…2012

    This paper presents morphosyntactic and sentential information on Mauritian Creole (MC), a French-lexifier creole which has been underrepresented in many studies of Creole morphosyntactic typology. Typological features from Holm & Patrick (2007), Bickerton (1981, 1984), Taylor (1971, 1977), Markey (1982), and Dryer (1992), most of which have previously been assembled as being diagnostic of a language’s creole status, are presented here with examp…

  • Substrate influences in Mindanao Chabacano

    Anthony P GrantCHAPTERCreoles Their Substrates And…2011

    Mindanao Chabacano (henceforth MC), a cluster of varieties of Philippine Creole Spanish with almost 600,000 speakers recorded in the 2000 Philippines census, is rather unusual among creole languages because it has been in constant contact both with its chief lexifier Spanish, and with the languages which most strongly shaped it typologically, the Central Philippine languages, for most of the 300 or so years it is generally assumed to have existed…

  • On using qualitative lexicostatistics to illuminate language history

    Open AccessAnthony P GrantARTICLEDiachronica2010

    Following certain aspects of the work on lexicostatistics carried out in the 1960s and published thereafter (Hooley 1971, Miller et al. 1971, Miller 1984) and thereby working in a tradition which has most recently been practised by Ringe et al. (1997, 2001), among others, I maintain that much of lasting value can be learned about linguistic interrelationships by using techniques which have been developed in work on qualitative (rather than merely…

  • Contact, complexification and change in Mindanao Chabacano structure

    Anthony P GrantCHAPTERComplex processes in new languages2009

    This paper examines several instances of phonological and structural complexification in Mindanao Chabacano, a predominantly Spanish-lexifier creole of southwestern Mindanao, which have arisen as the result of the interaction of elements of Philippine (especially Tagalog and the Bisayan languages), Spanish and English origin in the language, which have given rise to contact-induced change in the language’s structure

  • Adding typology to lexicostatistics

    Open AccessDik Bakker, André Müller et al.ARTICLELinguistic Typology2009Citada por: 11Referências: 3

    The ASJP project aims at establishing relationships between languages on the basis of the Swadesh word list. For this purpose, lists have been collected and phonologically transcribed for almost 3,500 languages. Using a method based on the algorithm proposed by Levenshtein (Cybernetics and Control Theory 10: 707-710, 1966), a custom-made computer program calculates the distances between all pairs of languages in the database. Standard software is…

  • Contact-Induced Change and the Openness of 'Closed' Morphological Systems

    Open AccessAnthony P Grant, Anthony GrantARTICLEJournal of Language Contact2008Citada por: 1Referências: 7

    This paper examines the effects of contact-induced language change on the nominal and verbal inflectional morphology of several Native American languages, most of which have also replaced large amounts of their basic vocabulary with loans from other language. It shows that although there are few if any limitations on the kinds of concepts which may be expressed by borrowed items, borrowing as a source of morphological renewal is an infrequently-e…

  • Some aspects of NPs in Mindanao Chabacano

    Anthony P GrantCHAPTERNoun Phrases in Creole Languages2007

    This paper examines certain aspects of NP structure and use in Mindanao Chabacano (henceforth MC). This is a mixed creole of the Southern Philippines in which the bulk of the morphs derive from the Mexican Spanish which was the major language of intercommunication among the soldiers of the Philippines when these islands were under Spanish rule (soldiers having been mostly recruited from Mexico). Two forms of MC are attested in any great detail. F…

    John Holm , Languages in contact: The partial restructuring of vernaculars . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004. Pp. xx, 175. Hb $75.00. The title of this book immediately puts the reader in mind of Weinreich's (1953) classic of the same name, a volume which (a little surprisingly) is not mentioned in the book under review. Though this similarity of title is misleading, both books are notable for their combination of first-hand observati…
