Saramaccan has been central to various debates regarding the origin
and nature of creole languages. Being the most removed of all
English-based creoles from European language structure in terms of
phonology, morphology and syntax, it has been seen as one of the
most extreme instantiations of the creolization process. This is
the first full-length description of Saramaccan. The grammar
documents, in particular, a valence-sensitive system of indicating
movement and direction via serial verb constructions, hitherto
overlooked amidst the generalized phenomenon of serialization
itself.
