London: Karia Press, 1985. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0946918066 xiv + 288 pages, bibliography; corner crease, otherwise very good. Africans speaking related languages of the Niger-Congo language family were taken to the Caribbean; their mother tongues were suppressed through a system of dividing the speakers of the same languages and meting out severe punishment for the use of African languages. Despite this system, the Africans preserved the common grammatical core from their related mother tongues and expressed these grammatical relationships, using the only vocabulary permissable within their respective slave societies, i.e. European language vocabulary. Out of this gigantic creative feat were born the Creole languages. (Book ref. 6558) £6.00
