Sommario/riassunto

How do children acquire a Creole as their first language? This relatively underexplored question is the starting point for this first book of its



kind; it also asks how first language acquisition of a Creole differs from that of a non-Creole language. Dany Adone reveals that in the absence of a conventional language model, Creole children acquire language and go beyond the input they receive. This study discusses the role of input, a hotly debated issue in the field of first language acquisition, and provides support for the nativist approach in the debate between nativism and input-based models. The Acquisition of Creole Languages will be essential reading for those in the fields of First Language Acquisition and Creole Studies. Adone takes an interdisciplinary approach, and uses insights from the acquisition of language in the visual modality, making this of great interest to those in the field of Sign Linguistics.

Sommario/riassunto

Showcases brilliant and experimental work in African American poetry.   Just prior to the Second World War, and even more explosively in the 1950's and 1960's, a far-reaching revolution in aesthetics and prosody by black poets ensued, some working independently and others in organized groups. Little of this new work was reflected in the anthologies and syllabi of college English courses of the period. Even during the 1970's, when African American literature began to receive substantial critical attention, the work of many experimental black poets continued to be neglect
