Abstract:

Previous Fa d’Ambô grammars are all written in Spanish, either in the spirit
of Latin grammar models (Vila 1891, Barrena 1957) or in the tradition of
Romance philology (Zamora Segorbe 2010). A Grammar of Fa d’Ambô aims to
overcome the shortcomings of these grammars by providing a comprehensive
description of the language from a creolistic, typological, and general
linguistics perspective.

The grammar covers all major domains of grammar and the different types of
interactions between them. The book further includes transcribed texts (about
12,000 words), a Fa d’Ambô-English word list (about 1,140 entries) and
supplementary audio materials corresponding to the transcribed texts and
spectrograms.

Being the first comprehensive Fa d’Ambô grammar written in English, the book
aims at a wide readership of scholars who are interested in creoles, language
typology, and language documentation in general, but also targets a
specialized readership in Portuguese-related creoles. The grammar is further
expected to make a substantial contribution to our understanding of the
relation between Fa d’Ambô and its better-known sister languages Santome,
Angolar, and Lung’Ie (Principense), spoken on the islands of São Tomé and
Príncipe.
