Surviving the Middle Passage: The West Africa-Surinam Sprachbund
Pieter C. Muysken (editor), Norval Smith (editor), Robert Borges (editor)This book is about the close historical and linguistic relationship between the languages of Surinam and Benin, a relationship which can be viewed in terms of a Trans Atlantic Sprachbund or linguistic area. It consists of a detailed analysis of various possible substrate and adstrate effects in a number of components of the grammar, in the Surinam Creole languages, primarily from the Gbe languages of Benin but also from Kikongo.
