As such, it is the first major study of the development of child grammar in a Creole context. Mauritian Creole, in common with many Creole languages, emerged under extreme conditions and, as an isolating language, Mauritian Creole is typologically different from languages where syntax is predominantly tied to morphology. 410 0$aLanguage acquisition & language disorders ;$v9. 606 $aCreole dialects, French$zMauritius 606 $aLanguage acquisition 615 0$aCreole dialects, French 615 0$aLanguage acquisition. 676 $a447/.96982 700 $aAdone$b Dany$01650407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973871203321 996 $aThe acquisition of Mauritian Creole$94375864 997 $aUNINA
