SURVIVING THE MIDDLE PASSAGE KARTONIERT (TB)

The relation between the Surinam Creoles and the languages of West Africa  where slaves who
created the creoles originated  has been hotly debated. This book argues that the close
relationship can be viewed in terms of a Trans Atlantic Sprachbund. It brings in new historical
and linguistic evidence for an extremely close relationship between the creoles  the Gbe
languages  and Kikongo  where bilingual practices led to new language forms.
