Abstract:

This book investigates syllable structure and phonotactic restructuring in six
Caribbean creoles with Dutch, English and French as main lexifier languages.
The earliest reliable data available for each creole are analysed
statistically to determine which lexifier structures are retained in the
creole, which ones undergo restructuring (and at which rates) and which
restructuring mechanisms are preferred in case of repair. The description of
creole structures is kept as theory-neutral as possible to make the analysis
meaningful to researchers working in different theoretical frameworks. The
investigation reveals that, although some structures are more commonly
permitted than others, there is considerable cross-creole variation,
especially with respect to word-final structures. This variation concerns both
permissible structures and the preferred choice among different repair
strategies. It is shown that the vast majority of the observed patterns can
receive a plausible explanation if we assume that L1 transfer, substrate
levelling and (partial) L2 acquisition feature prominently among the
mechanisms in creolisation. The findings thus provide support for recent SLA
approaches to the emergence of creole phonology (Plag 2009, Uffmann 2009).
