comparative creole syntax

The concept of this book arose following the success of Holm’s Pidgins and Creoles (CUP, 2 vols, 1988-89). This long awaited volume provides the historical background and grammatical description of eighteen carefully selected creole languages written by leading specialists in this field. It is an essential work of reference for linguistics students while being readily accessible to the wider public. "At last we have a book which shows, virtually at a glance, similarities and differences among a carefully chosen selection of Creoles", (Mervyn Alleyne).
