2026 Review of Syea (2017): French Creoles: A Comprehensive and Comparative Grammar Names and Naming, Krämer, Philipp, Eeva M. Sippola and Rachel Selbach (eds.), pp. 169–172 | Review
2017 Chapter 5. Creole typology I: Comparative overview of creole languages Creole Studies – Phylogenetic Approaches, Bakker, Peter, Finn Borchsenius, Carsten Levisen and Eeva M. Sippola (eds.), pp. 79–101 | Chapter
This chapter provides an overview of structural properties of creole languages based on widely different languages and spoken in a broad geographic range. We discuss phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon. Phonologically, creoles tend to have average properties. Creoles are generally not… read more
2017 Chapter 3. Phylogenetics in biology and linguistics Creole Studies – Phylogenetic Approaches, Bakker, Peter, Finn Borchsenius, Carsten Levisen and Eeva M. Sippola (eds.), pp. 35–58 | Chapter
The main goal of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the parallels and commonalities that exist between the fields of biology and linguistics. Researchers from both fields faced similar problems when seeking to account for the descent and diversification of related entities (species,… read more
2017 Chapter 8. The typology and classification of French-based creoles: A global perspective Creole Studies – Phylogenetic Approaches, Bakker, Peter, Finn Borchsenius, Carsten Levisen and Eeva M. Sippola (eds.), pp. 175–191 | Chapter
The main aim of this chapter is to examine the internal relationships of several French-based creoles and to provide a classification of these languages, a problem that has been left unsolved (or only partially solved) by creolists so far. We show that the issue can be tackled with a… read more
2017 Chapter 6. Creole typology II: Typological features of creoles: from early proposals to phylogenetic approaches and comparisons with non-creoles Creole Studies – Phylogenetic Approaches, Bakker, Peter, Finn Borchsenius, Carsten Levisen and Eeva M. Sippola (eds.), pp. 103–140 | Chapter
In the late 1950s, creolists started drawing lists of shared lexical and grammatical properties of creole languages. In this chapter, a number of proposals and features are presented. We show that few of the proposed common properties are in fact shared by all creoles. We also discuss… read more
2017 Chapter 7. West African languages and creoles worldwide Creole Studies – Phylogenetic Approaches, Bakker, Peter, Finn Borchsenius, Carsten Levisen and Eeva M. Sippola (eds.), pp. 141–174 | Chapter
In creole studies, there has been a long tradition of discussing the respective contributions of African languages in the genesis of creoles spoken primarily in the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. Creolists have often assumed that the African languages that contributed to the creation of creoles… read more
2013 Creoles are typologically distinct from non-creoles Creole Languages and Linguistic Typology, Bhatt, Parth and Tonjes Veenstra (eds.), pp. 9–45 | Article
In creolist circles, there has been a long-standing debate whether creoles differ structurally from non-creole languages and thus would form a special class of languages with specific typological properties. This debate about the typological status of creole languages has severely suffered from a… read more
2013 Review of Chaudenson (2010): La genèse des créoles de l’Océan Indien Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages 28:2, pp. 446–449 | Review
2011 Creoles are typologically distinct from non-creoles Creoles and Typology, Bhatt, Parth and Tonjes Veenstra (eds.), pp. 5–42 | Article
In creolist circles, there has been a a long-standing debate whether creoles differ structurally from non-creole languages and thus would form a special class of languages with specific typological properties. This debate about the typological status of creole languages has severely suffered from… read more
2011 A phylogenetic networks approach to the classification of English-based Atlantic creoles English World-Wide 32:2, pp. 115–146 | Article
This paper deals with the issue of genetic relationships between English-based Atlantic creoles. A method borrowed from biology will be applied to a set of lexical and structural features found in the sample presented in Hancock (1987) in order to assess the degrees of affinity between these… read more
