Creole studies - phylogenetic approaches / / edited by Peter Bakker [and three others].

Show other versions (1)

This book launches a new approach to creole studies founded on phylogenetic network analysis. Phylogenetic approaches offer new visualisation techniques and insights into the relationships between creoles and non-creoles, creoles and other contact varieties, and between creoles and lexifier language...
