Abstract:
How do children acquire a Creole as their first language? This relatively
underexplored question is the starting point for this first book of its kind;
it also asks how first language acquisition of a Creole differs from that of a
non-Creole language. Dany Adone reveals that in the absence of a conventional
language model, Creole children acquire language and go beyond the input they
receive. This study discusses the role of input, a hotly debated issue in the
field of first language acquisition, and provides support for the nativist
approach in the debate between nativism and input-based models. The
Acquisition of Creole Languages will be essential reading for those in the
fields of first language acquisition and Creole studies. Adone takes an
interdisciplinary approach, using insights from non-verbal language
acquisition, which makes this of great interest to those in the field of sign
linguistics.
