Year: 1992

Type: article

Abstract: Review of the socio-historical context in which Creole developed in Guadeloupe. The author questions the validity of the claim made about the insignificant role of African languages in the development of creole languages. She argues that African languages played a central role in the life of their speakers for a very long period.
