A Comprehensive and Comparative Grammar of English Creoles provides a detailed, comprehensive description of the morphology, grammar, and syntax of a selected number of English creoles, including those spoken on both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific.

This book:

• Focuses on a number of traditional grammatical categories to provide a comprehensive description and discussion of these languages;

• Identifies not only how creoles differ from their lexifier, but also how they differ from one another;

• Provides effective comparative descriptions to enable an insightful understanding of language evolution.

This book will be ideal supplementary reading for students and researchers of linguistics, and will particularly appeal to those with an interest in descriptive linguistics, historical linguistics, World Englishes, contact and creole linguistics, and language policy and planning.
