In the literature on the issue, widely diverging hypotheses have been advanced, but scholars have not come close to a consensus. The present study casts new and long-lasting light on the issue, putting forward compelling interdisciplinary evidence that Papiamentu is genetically related to the Portuguese-based creoles of the Cape Verde Islands, Guinea-Bissau, and Casamance (Senegal). Following the trans-Atlantic transfer of native speakers to Curaçao in the latter half of the 17th century, the Portuguese-based proto-variety underwent a far-reaching process of relexification towards Spanish, affecting the basic vocabulary while leaving intact the original phonology, morphology, and syntax. Papiamentu is thus shown to constitute a case of 'language contact reduplicated' in that a creole underwent a second significant restructuring process (relexification). These explicit claims and their rigorous underpinning will set standards for both the study of Papiamentu and creole studies at large and will be received with great interest in the wider field of contact linguistics. 410 0$aLanguage contact and bilingualism ;$v3. 606 $aPapiamentu$xHistory 606 $aPapiamentu$xEtymology 606 $aCreole dialects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aCreole dialects$zAfrica, West 606 $aLanguage and education$zCaribbean Area 606 $aSociolinguistics$zCaribbean Area 610 $aApplied Linguistics. 610 $aCreole Languages. 610 $aHistorical Linguistics. 610 $aLanguage Change. 610 $aLanguage Contact. 610 $aRomance Languages. 615 0$aPapiamentu$xHistory. 615 0$aPapiamentu$xEtymology. 615 0$aCreole dialects 615 0$aCreole dialects 615 0$aLanguage and education 615 0$aSociolinguistics 676 $a467/.972986 700 $aJacobs$b Bart$f1979-$01479398 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790340203321 996 $aOrigins of a Creole$93695486 997 $aUNINA
