Back to the hypothesis: Language contact and internal development 330 $aHans den Besten (1948-2010) made numerous contributions to Afrikaans linguistics over a period of nearly three decades. His writings helped shift the perspective on the roots of Afrikaans beyond Dutch to the structure and vocabulary of Khoekhoe, to Portuguese Creole, and to Malay varieties. This volume contains a selection of Den Besten's most important papers - some of which originally appeared in less accessible journals - concerning the structure and history of Afrikaans. They cover a wide range of topics, including grammatical structure, vocabulary, the historical development of Afrikaans, 410 0$aCreole language library ;$v44. 606 $aAfrikaans language$xEtymology 606 $aAfrikaans language$xGrammar 606 $aAfrikaans language$xHistory 606 $aLanguages in contact 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 615 0$aAfrikaans language$xEtymology. 615 0$aAfrikaans language$xGrammar. 615 0$aAfrikaans language$xHistory. 615 0$aLanguages in contact. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 676 $a439.3/682421 700 $aBesten$b Hans den$01661271 701 $aWouden$b Ton van der$f1958-$01661272 701 $aBesten$b Hans den$01661271 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822161903321 996 $aRoots of Afrikaans$94017095 997 $aUNINA
