Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
Explores theoretical and typological issues surrounding the emergence of creole languages, using a cohesive approach that combines linguistics, legal history and colonial studies.
MoreLong description:
Exploring creole studies from a linguistic, historical, and socio-cultural perspective, this study advances our knowledge of the subject by using a cohesive approach to provide new theoretical insights into language shift, language acquisition and language change. It compares the legal system regulating black slavery in Choc&&&243;, Colombia with the systems implemented by other European colonial powers in the Americas, to address questions such as what do Choc&&&243; Spanish linguistic features say about the nature of Afro-Hispanic vernaculars? What were the sociohistorical conditions in which Choc&&&243; Spanish formed? Was slavery in Choc&&&243; much different from slavery in other European colonies? Whilst primarily focused on Afro-Hispanic language varieties, Sessarego's findings and methodology can be easily applied and tested to other contact languages and settings, and used to address current debates on the origin of other black communities in the Americas and the languages they speak.
