This paper discusses the development and structural properties of verb + particle combinations in various creole languages for which Dutch was the main lexifier: Afrikaans, Berbice Dutch Creole, and Virgin Islands Dutch Creole (Negerhollands). In addition, it examines creole languages which have had substantial lexical influence from Dutch, such as Sranan, Ndyuka, and Papiamentu. The paper focuses on the interaction between grammatical patterns of object / verb order and lexical patterns involving verb + particle combinations.
