The Emergence of Hybrid Grammars: Language Contact and Change - Cambridge Approaches to Language Contact
Aboh, Enoch Olade (Universiteit van Amsterdam)
Based on a detailed study of creole languages, this book contributes to the debate on language acquisition and change by showing that language acquisition requires contact between different linguistic sub-systems that feed into the hybrid grammars that learners develop. Competition between these grammars may eventually result in language change.
