However, grammars of these languages, particularly those couched within theoretical frameworks of one kind of another, are few and far between. This book contributes directly to creole linguistics by providing a detailed study of different aspects of the syntax of Mauritian creole within the theoretical framework of Principles and Parameters (Chomsky, 1981) and Minimalism (1995). It gives the reader a detailed account of the structure of this language and insight into the nature of creole languages, with implications for current cartographic and minimalist thinking on the structure and derivation of phrases and clauses. It will appeal to researchers of grammar and syntax, language acquisition, contact linguistics and sociolinguistics."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury Studies in Theoretical LinguisticsCreole dialectsMauritiusCreole dialects, FrenchMauritiusGrammarGrammar, syntax & morphologyCreole dialectsCreole dialects, FrenchGrammar.447/.96982Syea Anand972333UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910462717703321The Syntax of Mauritian Creole2258189UNINA
