Mufwene, Salikoko S.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the emergence of Berbice Dutch, detailing the process of "creolization" of Dutch in Berbice and questioning the definition of creoles. Topics include arrival of the slave ship Sint Antony Galeij and the importance of timing and demographics, the antiexceptionalist position which suggests that morphological impoverishment; and evolution of language varieties and the changing definition of creoles for a reevaluation of a language.
