Creole Studies – Phylogenetic Approaches
Edited by Peter Bakker | Finn Borchsenius | Carsten Levisen | Eeva Sippola
This book launches a new approach to creole studies founded on
phylogenetic network analysis. With evidence from creole languages in
Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific, the book provides new
perspectives on creole typology, cross-creole comparisons, and creole
semantics. Original case studies explore the differences and
similarities between creoles, and discuss how to classify creoles and
how they formed and developed.
Creole Studies has been written for a broad readership of
scholars and students in the fields of contact linguistics,
biolinguistics, sociolinguistics, language typology, and semantics.
Eeva Sippola is one of the editors of the book and has (co-)authored
several chapters on Iberian creoles and methods, among others. Danae
Perez and Eeva Sippola also contributed to the book with a study on
Afro-Hispanic varieties.
