Abstract:

This posthumous work by Jacques Arends offers new insights into the emergence
of the creole languages of Suriname including Sranantongo or Suriname
Plantation Creole, Ndyuka, and Saramaccan, and the sociohistorical context in
which they developed. Drawing on a wealth of sources including little known
historical texts, the author points out the relevance of European settlements
prior to colonization by the English in 1651 and concludes that the formation
of the Surinamese creoles goes back further than generally assumed. He
provides an all-encompassing sociolinguistic overview of the colony up to the
mid-19th century and shows how ethnicity, language attitude, religion and
location had an effect on which languages were spoken by whom. The author
discusses creole data gleaned from the earliest sources and interprets the
attested variation. The book is completed by annotated textual data, both oral
and written and representing different genres and stages of the Surinamese
creoles. It will be of interest to linguists, historians, anthropologists,
literary scholars and anyone interested in Suriname.
