Following up on the critical discussion of notions of 'creole exceptionalism' as historical and ideological constructs, this volume tests the basic assumptions that underlie current attempts to present 'creole structure' as a special type, from typological as well as sociohistorical perspectives. The sum of the findings presented here suggests that careful empirical investigation of input varieties and contact environments can explain the structural output without recourse to an exceptional genesis scenario. Echoing calls to dissolve the notion of 'creolization' as a special diachronic process, this volume proposes that theoretically grounded approaches to the notions of simplicity, complexity, transmission, etc. do not warrant considering so-called 'creole' languages as a special synchronic type. 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$v73. 606 $aCreole dialects 606 $aTypology (Linguistics) 615 0$aCreole dialects. 615 0$aTypology (Linguistics) 676 $a417/.22 686 $aEE 1650$2rvk 701 $aAnsaldo$b Umberto$01599179 701 $aMatthews$b Stephen$f1963-$0322174 701 $aLim$b Lisa$01800560 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972258503321 996 $aDeconstructing Creole$94346011 997 $aUNINA
