- W100338628 abstract "We have seen in this paper that Saramaccan is apparently unique among Atlantic creoles in that it makes use of inflectional tonal morphology. While the existence of such morphology is an interesting fact for studies of Saramaccan itself, it also could have bearing on McWhorter’s (1998) notion of the creole prototype since a lack of both inflectional and tonal morphology is taken by him to be an important typological property of creole languages. Importantly, however, an analysis of available evidence indicates that these morphemes do not appear to be the result of substrate transfer but are instead a languageinternal innovation. Since McWhorter explicitly acknowledged that creoles should eventually develop characteristics which would make them indistinguishable from other languages (1998:812), what we seem to be seeing in Saramaccan are some of its first steps towards acquiring grammatical properties typical of non-creole languages. The crucial ingredient for this process was the fact that it already made more extensive use of tone than most creoles. These facts are striking in light of the idea, as put forth by Bickerton (1988) and Byrne (1987), that Saramaccan’s status as a ‘radical’ creole means that it is somehow a more prototypical example of a creole than others. The data and the analysis seen here suggest that tone in Saramaccan has contributed to Saramaccan’s looking less like a creole and more like older languages and, therefore, calls into question Saramaccan’s status as a creole ‘prototype’. Certainly, Bickerton and Byrne’s notion of a prototypical creole is not necessarily the same as McWhorter’s. But, I doubt they would consider tonal morphology to be a normal property for such languages. Saramaccan may have many prototypical creole features, but a detailed analysis of its tonal phenomena suggests that it is no longer a prototypical creole, if indeed it ever was." @default.
