It analyzes spontaneous speech data from two varieties spoken in Aruba and Curaçao. The author examines structural features so far unexplored in the areas of phonology, morphology, syntax, and aspects of sentential semantics. Particular attention is given to nominal classifiers, non-pro-drop syntactic constructions, and absolute tense marking, traits that are rarely described in regards to Creole or Romance languages. Researchers interested in formal analyses of Papiamentu, Creole languages, and in language contact will find this book an indispensable tool.Grammars and Sketches of the World's Languages ;17.A Creole Language of the Caribbean AreaPapiamentu languageGrammarLanguage and linguisticsLinguisticsPapiamentu languageGrammar.Language and linguistics.Linguistics.427.972986Castillo Yolanda Rivera1788601NL-LeKBNL-LeKB9910974198103321A Description of Papiamentu4323649UNINA
