this paper. creolists, derivational morphology. McWhorter's interesting hypothesis that creoles have only semantically transparent derivational morphology raises important empirical and theoretical questions that I would like to address in this note. I will show that the main problem with the hypothesis is not - contra Lefebvre - that it is formulated in vague terms, but that it is not tenable if we take heed of some basic tenets of morphological theory. As predicted by the theoretical considerations, available data falsify the hypothesis
