Abstract:

It is generally assumed that Creole languages form a separate category from
the rest of the world’s languages. The papers in this volume, written by
internationally renowned scholars in the field of Creole studies, seek to
explore more deeply this commonly held assumption by comparing the linguistic
properties of specific Creole languages to each other and also to non-Creole
languages. Using a variety of methodological and analytical approaches, the
contributions to this volume show that the linguistic classification of Creole
languages continues to be a topic of intense debate that requires the
re-examination of the premises of linguistic typology. What is the linguistic
motivation for considering that languages are related or unrelated? How and
why do common linguistic properties arise? Are Creoles indeed exceptional?
This volume examines these questions and provides a strong foundation for
continued research into the phonological, morphological, syntactic and
semantic features found in Creole languages. Most of these articles were
previously published in the Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages 26:1
(2011). The article by Jeff Good was previously published in the Journal of
Pidgin and Creole Languages 27:1 (2012).
