Back to the hypothesis: Language contact and internal developmentHans den Besten (1948-2010) made numerous contributions to Afrikaans linguistics over a period of nearly three decades. His writings helped shift the perspective on the roots of Afrikaans beyond Dutch to the structure and vocabulary of Khoekhoe, to Portuguese Creole, and to Malay varieties. This volume contains a selection of Den Besten's most important papers - some of which originally appeared in less accessible journals - concerning the structure and history of Afrikaans. They cover a wide range of topics, including grammatical structure, vocabulary, the historical development of Afrikaans,Creole language library ;44.Afrikaans languageEtymologyAfrikaans languageGrammarAfrikaans languageHistoryLanguages in contactGrammar, Comparative and generalAfrikaans languageEtymology.Afrikaans languageGrammar.Afrikaans languageHistory.Languages in contact.Grammar, Comparative and general.439.3/682421Besten Hans den1550755Wouden Ton van der1958-1550756Besten Hans den1550755MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779168203321Roots of Afrikaans3809820UNINA
