This book explores a relatively little investigated area of creole
languages, word-formation. It provides the most comprehensive
account so far of the word-formation patterns of an English-based
creole language, Sranan, as found in its earliest sources, and
compares them with the patterns attested in the input languages.
One of the few studies of creole morphology based on historical
data, the book discusses the theoretical problems arising with the
historical analysis of creole word-formation and provides an
analysis along the lines of Booij's (2005, 2007) Construction
Morphology in which the assumed boundaries between affixation,
compounding and syntactic constructions play a very minor role. It
shows that Early Sranan word-formation is characterised by the
absence of superstrate derivational affixes, the use of free
morphemes as derivational markers and of compounding as the major
word-formation strategy. The emergence of Early Sranan
word-formation involved multiple sources (the input languages,
universals, language-internal development) and different mechanisms
(reanalysis of free morphemes as derivational markers, adaptation
of superstrate complex words, transfer from the substrates and the
creation of innovations). The findings render untenable theoretical
accounts of creole genesis based on one explanatory factor, such as
superstrate or substrate influence.
The new and updated third edition of this highly successful
textbook contains an additional chapter that presents modern
empirical research methods in the form of exemplary small-scale
studies. In these projects the authors invite the reader to develop
and address research questions from phonetics/phonology, morphology
and syntax. The pertinent experimental and corpus-linguistic
techniques are introduced and students are familiarized with some
basic statistical tools necessary for the analysis of the data. The
major difference between this book and its potential competitors
lies in its hands-on didactic orientation, with a strong focus on
linguistic analysis and argumentation. Language and linguistic
theory are approached from a strictly empirical perspective: given
a certain set of data to be accounted for, theoretical and
methodological problems must be solved in order to analyze and
understand the data properly. The book is not written from the
perspective of a particular theoretical framework and draws on
insights from various research traditions. Introduction to English
Linguistics concentrates on gaining expertise and analytical skills
in the traditional core areas of linguistics, i.e. phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The chapter on
"Extensions and applications" widens the perspective to other areas
of linguistic research, such as historical, socio- and
psycholinguistics. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises and
suggestions for further reading. A glossary and an index facilitate
access to terms and topics.
