Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Creole languages are languages that developed from contact between slave-owners and (African) slaves. For a long time these languages were seen as inferior and not deserving of study. More recently it has been recognized the the study of such newly-created languages might have something to tell us about the creation of language as such. In this course, we will focus on the English-based spoken in the Atlantic area. We will examine some of the theories that have been proposed to explain the form of these languages. This will involve looking at linguistic and sociolinguistic data. The aim of the course is to teach students some analytical skills needed for the description of creole languages, to provide insight into their specific properties, and to study the resemblances between the various languages.
