“…For the relation of anterior events, the preterite is Duminys tense of choice, but her diary does contain 96 tokens of the perfect, 77 of which occur with hebben, 19 with zijn. All of the perfects for intransitive mutative verbs are consistent with metropolitan nonns (Roberge 1997 (Valkhoff 1966(Valkhoff :203-5, 1972Scholtz 1963:116,225, passim;Le Roux 1977:xxv;Raidt 1983Raidt :6-7, 27-30, 1991) has centered around scenario (iii). Accordingly, the mixed language of our Cape Dutch corpora is largely an orthographic f.ction.…”

Allar voro af scafilar, prer er voro a ristnar, oc hverfOar vi(\ inn helga mio(\, oc sendar a vi (\a vega (Sigrdrijuma/18) In this essay I shall address some methodological issues concerning the reconstruction of variation in the early history of Afrikaans (roughly 1710-1840), with a view toward theorizing the mechanisms and sociolinguistic forces that underlie the formation of this language. Since discussions of the methodology of evaluating our Cape Dutch source material have been mostly sketchy, and since most scholars have neglected to make their methodology explicit, it is natural that much has been assumed that will not bear up under close scrutiny.I shall not take up the tired question as to whether Afrikaans is a creole or semicreole. The answer to this question is ultimately decisionistic, depending on one's point of view. If one defines a creole on the basis of certain sociohistorical conditions, specifically, as a language variety that developed out of contact between western European languages and non-European languages in an extraterritorial setting and involving people born in the colonies of nonidigenous parents, thenAfrikaans would certainly meet that definition. In this respect, Afrikaans stands apart from extraterritorial varieties of language that developed from contact of diverse metropolitan dialects (and only these), indigenized varieties of western European languages (e.g., Indian and West African

“…Principense. The number of Principense speakers stood at less than 200 by the second half of the twentieth century (VALKHOFF, 1966;GÜNTHER, 1973, MAURER, 2009AGOSTINHO, 2016) 3 . The ethnic group Angolar, speakers of the Angolar language (or Lingua Ngolá), lived in relatively isolated areas of major towns with little outside contact (SEIBERT, 2007).…”

This paper describes how the Portuguese language came to be widely spoken in the Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe and demonstrates how the spread of Portuguese language can be associated with the endangerment of other languages in the archipelago. A country that has been multilingual since its formation has moved towards monolingualism, marginalizing native languages or pushing them into obsolescence in the process. Based on a literature review, we suggest that the spread of Portuguese and its consolidation as the dominant language are associated with a complex socio-historical process, including urbanization, mass schooling, media and the desire of local elites to remain connected to an imperial language and the benefits of such a connection. The choice of the ruling elite to adopt Portuguese as the official language in the young republic in 1975 effectively created the mechanisms for the diffusion of Portuguese and set the stage for the endangerment of other local languages.

“…We also know that there was significant emigration from Zeeland between roughly 1685 and 1700 (Katzen 1982:198). So what at first blush appears to be an obvious creolism (Valkhoff 1966(Valkhoff :222, 1972 may find its origin in an old dialectism. To infer from these facts a Netherlandic origin for subjectival ons is a defensible (but not necessarily unchallengeable) position.…”
