Lingua Franca in West Africa? An evaluation of the sociohistorical and metalinguistic evidence
This article investigates the nature of 15th - 18th century Afro-European linguistic contacts on the Lower Guinea Coast of Africa with the aim of establishing whether the Portuguese could have spread the Mediterranean Lingua Franca to Lower Guinea. There is solid evidence that a Portuguese-lexified contact language, referred to as ‘(broken) Portuguese’ and/or ‘Lingua Franca’ in historical sources, was used as a trade pidgin in West Africa until t…
Synchronic and diachronic perspectives on contact languages
Gullah in the diaspora
The status of Gullah and Bahamian Creole English (BahCE) within the Atlantic English creoles and their historical relationship with African American Vernacular English (AAVE) have long been a matter of discussion. It was assumed that Gullah and BahCE are ‘sister’ varieties sharing an immediate ancestor in the eighteenth-century creole English spoken on plantations in the American South. We present historical and linguistic data, including a stati…
Atlantic, Pacific, and world-wide features in English-lexicon contact languages
This article analyzes the earliest known attestations of 302 lexical, functional, and grammatical features in 13 English-lexicon contact languages in the Atlantic and the Pacific. The main aims are (i) to shed light on the historical relationships between the individual varieties, (ii) to learn about the mechanisms at work in their genesis and development, and (iii) to examine the significance of features common to both geographical regions. Over…
Constructing new pronominal systems from the Atlantic to the Pacific
The earliest attestations of pronouns that deviate significantly from the English system are listed for thirteen English-lexicon contact languages spoken around the world. What these forms tell us about the nature of pidgin and creole genesis is then investigated, including the question of why deviant forms were used at all. Although most of these new FORMS can readily be derived from English, we argue that their new FUNCTIONS cannot, since these…
