2024 The rhotics of the Salvador, Bahia variety of Brazilian Portuguese Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages: Online-First Articles | Article
Brazilian Portuguese has two rhotic phonemes: the alveolar flap /ɾ/ and another variable phoneme. This phoneme has been cited as velar, uvular, and glottal fricatives, as well as alveolar trills and approximants. Variability of surface forms occurs both within and across varieties. This phoneme… read more

2018 Negation in Korlai Indo-Portuguese Negation and Negative Concord: The view from Creoles, Déprez, Viviane and Fabiola Henri (eds.), pp. 211–224 | Chapter
Korlai displays patterns in negation largely similar to those found in Marathi, the adstrate language. An example of this is the apparent calque of the Marathi negative construction with ‘want’, where Korlai ni kɛ ‘don’t/doesn’t want’ (negator ni with a reduced form of keré ‘want’) corresponds to… read more

and Spanish-lexified contact varieties Portuguese-Spanish Interfaces: Diachrony, synchrony, and contact, Amaral, Patrícia and Ana Maria Carvalho (eds.), pp. 377–401 | Article
It is commonly assumed that during pidginization and creolization, morphosyntactic complexity of the lexifier languages is significantly reduced such that the number of affixes, clitic forms, and unstressed function words decreases substantially. In this study, I appeal to the frequency of use of… read more
2012 Notes on the phonology and lexicon of some Indo-Portuguese creoles Ibero-Asian Creoles: Comparative Perspectives, Cardoso, Hugo C., Alan N. Baxter and Mário Pinharanda-Nunes (eds.), pp. 15–46 | Article
In this study, the focus is on three key differences in five Indo-Portuguese creoles: differences in phonological inventory, in the core lexicons, and in the syllable structure of the creoles. An account for these is based on two criteria and the distinction between borrowing and shift. The… read more

2009 Gradual vs. abrupt creolization and recent changes in Daman Creole Portuguese Gradual Creolization: Studies celebrating Jacques Arends, Selbach, Rachel, Hugo C. Cardoso and Margot van den Berg (eds.), pp. 55–75 | Article
This paper recasts the dichotomous view of gradualist vs. abrupt creolization as a continuum. It is suggested that the rapidity of creolization would ultimately depend, not on linguistic factors, but rather on the social conditions of the contact situation (Thomason and Kaufman 1988: 35). In such a… read more

This paper presents a comparative study of two Indo-Portuguese creoles, Korlai Creole Portuguese (KP) and Daman Creole Portuguese (DP). Using recently collected data, the phonology, pronominal systems, TMA markers, syntactic properties, and lexical items of KP and DP are compared and contrasted.… read more

1992 Foreigner Talk and the Origins of Pidgin Portuguese Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages 7:1, pp. 75–92 | Article
In this study it is argued that what Naro (1978) calls the Reconnaissance Language (RL) was not a pidgin language but simply an instance of foreigner talk (FT). Historical evidence is presented from which it can be reasonably inferred that Portuguese FT must have existed before the RL was… read more
