註釋

This book explores the manner in which language and language choice reflect and mediate the social landscape of those societies that evolved from European-conceived and controlled plantation labor systems. These plantation systems merged the lives of people of different nations, cultures, and languages so that they could serve as either indentured workers or slaves. For this reason, creole language studies-- more than any other area of linguistics-- provides invaluable insight into the nature of diaspora, ethnicity, nationalism, identity, and language loyalty.
