French-based creole languages (FBCLs) may be characterized as a group by one historical and two linguistic properties. Their shared historical feature is that they arose between the 16th and 19th centuries as vehicular (hence oral) languages in French colonies, through language contact between the colonial variety of French spoken by the French ...

Creole languages have a curious status in linguistics, and at the same time they often have very low prestige in the societies in which they are spoken. These two facts may be related, in part because they circle around notions such as “derived from” or “simplified” instead of “original.” Rather than simply taking the notion of “creole” as a given and ...

Abstract Pidgin and creole languages used to be referred to as “mixed languages,” but in recent years this term has been abandoned in favor of “contact languages.” The reason for this is perhaps that the term “mixed” suggests hodgepodge, chaos, and lack of norms, whereas not all pidgins and none of the creoles are in fact chaotic ...

Pidgin Languages and Creole Languages
2004The article discusses research on the sociolinguistics of creole languages focusing on the creole continuum notion and its viability. The paper argues that the evidence shows that this notion is rather problematic and cannot coherently explain language practices in English official Creole communities or other communities where creoles are regularly ...
