Sippola University of Bremen https://ror.org/04ers2y35 https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6414-8723 This book launches a new approach to creole studies founded on phylogenetic network analysis. Phylogenetic approaches offer new visualisation techniques and insights into the relationships between creoles and non-creoles, creoles and other contact varieties, and between creoles and lexifier languages. With evidence from creole languages in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific, the book provides new perspectives on creole typology, cross-creole comparisons, and creole semantics. The book offers an introduction for newcomers to the fields of creole studies and phylogenetic analysis. Using these methods to analyse a variety of linguistic features, both structural and semantic, the book then turns to explore old and new questions and problems in creole studies. Original case studies explore the differences and similarities between creoles, and propose solutions to the problems of how to classify creoles and how they formed and developed. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the unity and heterogeneity of creoles and the areal influences on their development. It also provides metalinguistic discussions of the “creole” concept from different perspectives. Finally, the book reflects critically on the findings and methods, and sets new agendas for future studies. Creole Studies has been written for a broad readership of scholars and students in the fields of contact linguistics, biolinguistics, sociolinguistics, language typology, and semantics. 5 31 2017 6 12 2017 9789027212498 9789027265739 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/z.211 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027265739 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027265739.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/z.211/html Danae M.

Our analysis is based on typological and dialectal comparative data. The results of the phylogenetic analysis show clear clusters of standard varieties and creole varieties, while the placement of other contact varieties in the network has to be interpreted in the light of the data collection methods and socio-historical information about the varieties. 5 31 2017 6 12 2017 269 292 10.1075/z.211.12per https://benjamins.com/catalog/z.211.12per https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/z.211.12per/html 10.1075/bct.57.02bak Roots of Language Bickerton 1981 10.1093/molbev/msh018 10.1146/annurev.anthro.37.081407.085156 El castellano hablado en Chincha Cuba 2002 10.1075/eww.32.2.01dav Proceedings of the EACL 2012 Joint Workshop of LINGVIS & UNCLH Daval-Markussen 89 2012 Explorations in creole research with phylogenetic tools 10.1017/S0047404505050207 DeGraff , M. 2012 .
