This book takes a fresh approach to analysing how new languages are
created, combining in-depth colonial history and empirical,
usage-based linguistics. Focusing on a rarely studied language, the
authors employ this dual methodology to reconstruct how
multilingual individuals drew on their perception of Romance and
West African languages to form French Guianese Creole. In doing so,
they facilitate the application of a usage-based approach to
language while simultaneously contributing significantly to the
debate on creole origins. This innovative volume is sure to appeal
to students and scholars of language history, creolisation and
languages in contact. Chapter 3 is published open access under a CC
BY 4.0 license.
