Résumé
This book examines the place of creoles from a typological perspective using modern phylogenetic modeling tools. Exploring the similarities and differences that exist among creoles and between creoles and their input languages, the authors aim to generate new insights into persistent and at times hotly debated topics such as creole genesis and the relationships among creoles and between creoles and other languages, most specifically their input languages. The volume casts a very wide net. It investigates creoles from the Atlantic, Asian, Pacific and Africa region and also considers creoles associated with a range of so-called lexifiers (Arabic, Dutch, English, French and Iberian), common superstrates and some of the substrate inputs. But diversity does not stop there either. The authors also examine data from a range of linguistic levels, including phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic phenomena.
