How do children acquire a Creole as their first language? This
relatively underexplored question is the starting point for this
first book of its kind; it also asks how first language acquisition
of a Creole differs from that of a non-Creole language. Dany Adone
reveals that in the absence of a conventional language model,
Creole children acquire language and go beyond the input they
receive. This study discusses the role of input, a hotly debated
issue in the field of first language acquisition, and provides
support for the nativist approach in the debate between nativism
and input-based models. The Acquisition of Creole Languages will be
essential reading for those in the fields of First Language
Acquisition and Creole Studies. Adone takes an interdisciplinary
approach, and uses insights from the acquisition of language in the
visual modality, making this of great interest to those in the
field of Sign Linguistics.
