Surviving the Middle Passage: The West Africa-Surinam Sprachbund - Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM]
The relation between the Surinam Creoles and the languages of West Africa, where slaves who created the creoles originated, has been hotly debated. It brings in new historical and linguistic evidence for an extremely close relationship between the creoles, the Gbe languages, and Kikongo, where bilingual practices led to new language forms.
