Abstract:

The Afro-Hispanic Languages of the Americas (AHLAs) present a number of
grammatical similarities that have traditionally been ascribed to a previous
creole stage. Approaching creole studies from contrasting standpoints, this
groundbreaking book provides a new account of these phenomena. How did these
features come about? What linguistic mechanisms can account for their parallel
existence in several contact varieties? How can we formalize such mechanisms
within a comprehensive theoretical framework? How can these new datasets help
us test and refine current formal theories, which have primarily been based on
standardized language data? In addressing these important questions, this book
not only casts new light on the nature of the AHLAs, it also provides new
theoretical and methodological perspectives for a more integrated approach to
the study of contact-driven restructuring across language interfaces and
linguistic domains.
