Similarities and differences among Iberian creoles
Eeva Sippola | University of Bremen
This study provides an account of the classifications of Iberian creoles based on a phylogenetic network analysis of typological and lexical data. It maps the shared linguistic traits of these creoles and compares the differences between them. The results of the typological analysis support previous classifications, showing a clear division between Atlantic and Asian creoles, and the main subgroups are divided geographically. However, connections between the subgroups are less clear due to the degree of detail of the typological feature values. The similarities consist of typologically unmarked features that are shared with the lexifiers. The differences are a result of areal substrate and adstrate influence.
Keywords: Iberian creoles, areality, groupings, similarities, differences
