UG and acquisition in pidginization and creolization
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
I examine the target articles hypothesis in light of pidginization and creolization (P/C) phenomena. L1-to-L2 transfer has been argued to be the “central process” in P/C via relexification. This seems incompatible with the view that UC sans Li plays the central role in L2A. I sketch a proposal that reconciles the hypothesis in the target article with, inter alia, the effects of transfer in P/C.
