Annotation

This study indicates the interest of legal history (viz. colonial slave laws) to Afro-Hispanic linguistics and creole studies. It reposes on the newly-presented Legal Hypothesis of Creole Genesis (Sessarego, 2015, 2017) and, thereby, it supplies data that impair the suppositions upon which the Afrogenesis Hypothesis was predicated (McWhorter, 2000).
