#4350: Morphology in Creole Genesis (fwd)



From: Michel DeGraff <degraff@MIT.EDU>

Dear Colleagues,

The following paper is available for downloading and circulating:

     "Morphology in Creole genesis:  A prolegomenon"
     To appear in: Michael Kenstowicz, ed.,
     _Ken Hale: A Life in Language_
     Cambridge MASS.: MIT Press

The paper evaluates widely believed received notions about Creole
morphology.  These notions span the entire course of Creole studies and a
variety of theoretical approaches.  The paper also revisits some of the
historical foundations of Creole studies and their relationships to
contemporary sociological concerns in, and about, Creole communities.
