Description

Creoles, Revisited: Language Contact, Language Change, and Postcolonial Linguistics offers a new way to study creole languages. This book helps move the field toward a new paradigm by creating empirical frameworks to understand how language and culture work together in sociohistorical contact settings. By using archival sources, the authors challenge existing linguistic theories and practices. The text focuses on issues of power and places marginalized indigenous peoples at the center of the conversation. It presents these groups as vital agents in the formation and development of these languages. This work is an essential resource for students and scholars. It is highly relevant for those enrolled in courses regarding language contact, pidgins and creoles, Caribbean studies, and postcolonial studies. It serves as a valuable tool for researchers working across many academic disciplines who want to understand the deep connections between history, power, and linguistic evolution.
