Can creolization be understood as a graded process, possibly resulting in different degrees of "radicalness" and intermediate language types ("semi-creoles")? If so, by which linguistic structures are these characterized, and by which extralinguistic conditions have they been brought about? Which are the linguistic mechanisms underlying processes of restructuring, and how did grammatic 410 0$aCreole language library ;$vv. 22. 606 $aCreole dialects$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCreole dialects$xHistory. 676 $a417/.22 701 $aNeumann-Holzschuh$b Ingrid$0877383 701 $aSchneider$b Edgar W$g(Edgar Werner),$f1954-$0156909 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457274903321 996 $aDegrees of restructuring in Creole languages$91959196 997 $aUNINA
