Note
  • "This volume grew out of the Seventh Creolistics Workshop held at the University of Giessen in Giessen, Germany, 6-8 April, 2006 ... the presentations made there would be the basis for two volumes: one with a diachronic focus, Complex processes in new languages, edited by Enoch Aboh & Norval Smith, and the present one with a more synchronic emphasis"--P. 1.
