Abstract:
This book launches a new approach to creole studies founded on phylogenetic
network analysis. Phylogenetic approaches offer new visualisation techniques
and insights into the relationships between creoles and non-creoles, creoles
and other contact varieties, and between creoles and lexifier languages. With
evidence from creole languages in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific,
the book provides new perspectives on creole typology, cross-creole
comparisons, and creole semantics. The book offers an introduction for
newcomers to the fields of creole studies and phylogenetic analysis. Using
these methods to analyse a variety of linguistic features, both structural and
semantic, the book then turns to explore old and new questions and problems in
creole studies. Original case studies explore the differences and similarities
between creoles, and propose solutions to the problems of how to classify
creoles and how they formed and developed. The book provides a fascinating
glimpse into the unity and heterogeneity of creoles and the areal influences
on their development. It also provides metalinguistic discussions of the
“creole” concept from different perspectives. Finally, the book reflects
critically on the findings and methods, and sets new agendas for future
studies. Creole Studies has been written for a broad readership of scholars
and students in the fields of contact linguistics, biolinguistics,
sociolinguistics, language typology, and semantics.
