“…The main problem with this theory of the creation of creoles is that it is not compatible with the sociohistorical evidence on the settings in which such languages including their primary test case, Haitian Creole, emerged (Singler 1996, Thomason 1993, Mufwene 1996 (Baker 1990). In these settings they did not target such varieties.…”

The creators of (proto-typical) creoles only infrequently engaged into these kinds of social interactions and they only involved relatively non-complex interactions.…”

“…The linguistic conventions of the plantation administration (or what the slaves were able to acquire of them in their interactions with their representatives) thus only provided one minor input to the formation of (proto-typical) creoles rather than the main frame of the emerging language (cf. Baker 1990). The features from the politically dominant varieties in the setting only gradually filtered into the emerging set of conventions that developed among the field slaves, i.e.…”

The research on the formation of (radical) creoles has seen an unprecedented intensification and diversification in the last 20 years. This book discusses, illustrates, and evaluates current research on creole formation based on an in-depth investigation of the processes and mechanisms that contributed to the emergence of the morphosyntactic system of the creoles of Suriname. The study draws on a rich corpus of a) natural conversational and elicited synchronic linguistic data from the Eastern Maroon Creole (EMC) and its main African substrate language, Gbe, b) published diachronic data from the EMC’s sister-language Sranan Tongo, and c) information on the early history of Suriname coming from socio-historical investigations. It suggests that mechanisms of deliberate and contact-induced change also involved in borrowing and particularly shift situations led to the initial formation of the creoles of Suriname while language-internal change played a role in their subsequent development.

VorwortWo steht die germanistische Sprachwissenschaft aktuell? Der vorliegende Band mit dem Titel "Variation -Normen -Identitäten" ist der vierte Teil einer auf sechs Bände angelegten Reihe, die eine zwar nicht exhaustive, aber doch umfassende Bestandsaufnahme derjenigen Themenfelder innerhalb der germanistischen Linguistik bieten will, die im Kontext der Arbeiten des Instituts für Deutsche Sprache in den letzten Jahren für das Fach von Bedeutung waren und in den kommenden Jahren von Bedeutung sein werden (und von denen nicht wenige auch vom Institut für Deutsche Sprache bedient wurden und werden). Jeder einzelne Band behandelt ein abgeschlossenes Themengebiet und steht insofern für sich; in der Zusammenschau aller Bände ergibt sich ein Panorama der "Germanistischen Sprachwissenschaft um 2020".Anlass
