The articles are grouped into three coherent sections dealing with, respectively, phonetics and phonology, including Optimality Theory; synchronic analyses of both morphology and syntax; and diachronic tracings of language change, with special focus on sound patterns as well as semantics. An added value of the volume is that most of the articles are in various ways significant for more than one linguistic subgrouping, and there is a significant overlap of interests; the sections also cover sociolinguistic subjects, give both theoretical and functional linguistic analyses of language data, and discuss issues of grammaticalization. Thus, in discussing a number of issues relevant far beyond the study of pidgin and creole languages, as well as providing a wealth of linguistic data, this volume also contributes to the broader field of linguistics in general.Creole language library ;v. 32.Creole dialectsLanguages, MixedCreole dialects.Languages, Mixed.417/.22Huber Magnus1666684Velupillai Viveka1974-1626123MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826608803321Synchronic and diachronic perspectives on contact languages4026066UNINA
