Um cenário para a crioulização sem pidginização

Hildo Honório do Couto

Abstract

Taking the “principles of historical phonology” – formulated in the 30s by Jakobson – as a starting point, my aim in this article is to show that the traditional “life-cycle” model of creole grammar formation is not the best one. It presupposes the problematic concepts of pidgin and nativization. I show that a better alternative would be to consider that creole grammar is formed when the mixed medium of interethnic communication resulting from the contact of mutually unintelligible languages becomes the primary language of the emerging community. Therefore, communalization is more important than nativization. Additionally, I show that the processes which occur in creole formation are very common elsewhere.
