- Authors
Mufwene, Salikoko S.
- Abstract
The author claims that John McWhorter misinterprets the ecological approach to the emergence of creole languages in his article published in an issue of the "Journal of Pidgin & Creole Languages." He notes on the allegation of McWhorter that the feature pool hypothesis is counterintuitive and intriguing. He criticizes the way McWhorter elevates his contributions to creolistics.
