| Sommario/riassunto: | John McWhorter challenges an enduring paradigm among linguists in this provocative exploration of the origins of plantation creoles. Using a wealth of data--linguistic, sociolinguistic, historical--he proposes that the ""limited access model"" of creole genesis is seriously flawed. |
