Exploring creole studies from a linguistic, historical, and
socio-cultural perspective, this study advances our knowledge of
the subject by using a cohesive approach to provide new theoretical
insights into language shift, language acquisition and language
change. It compares the legal system regulating black slavery in
Choco, Colombia with the systems implemented by other European
colonial powers in the Americas, to address questions such as what
do Choco Spanish linguistic features say about the nature of
Afro-Hispanic vernaculars? What were the sociohistorical conditions
in which Choco Spanish formed? Was slavery in Choco much different
from slavery in other European colonies? Whilst primarily focused
on Afro-Hispanic language varieties, Sessarego's findings and
methodology can be easily applied and tested to other contact
languages and settings, and used to address current debates on the
origin of other black communities in the Americas and the languages
they speak.
