A new look at the Portuguese element in Saramaccan
Smith, Norval; Cardoso, Hugo C.. - : Ubiquity Press, 2018
Abstract: This article contains what is possibly the most accurate wordlist of Portuguese- derived items in Saramaccan (a creole language spoken in the interior of Suriname) produced so far, and attempts to establish the proportions of Portuguese – versus English-derived words – in this language. We believe that the results are very striking when the lexical category of the items concerned is taken into account. These observations are then analysed in the light of a possible scenario of the formation of Saramaccan involving the partial relexification of an earlier form of Sranan (the English-lexifier creole of the coast of Suriname) with Portuguese and/or a Portuguese-based Creole. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
