“…Not only orthographical differences appear, but also, lexical, morphological, and syntactical differences. Hinskens & Van Rossem (1995) have focused on the use of the word sender '3PL' in these comparable texts, as did Van der Voort & Muysken (1995) for reflexives. Other comparative studies will be embedded in the research of Robbert van Sluijs (TMAmarkers) and myself (philological approach of historical eighteenth century material).…”

In this article I show three methods to use the Negerhollands computer corpus for a better understanding of the eighteenth century variety of Negerhol lands. The first one is the study of metalinguistic comments which are taken up in several manuscripts. The second method is stemma/variety research between and within texts with the same content. The third method to study the do's and doubts of the first translators in order to present the right variety of the language is the analysis of annotations, changes and erasures of the writers. This philolog ical approach was common in Medieval studies, for instance, but is hardly used with respect to Creole languages.

In research on Creoles, historical written texts have in recent decades been fruitfully employed to shed light on the diachronic development of these languages and the nature of Creole genesis. They have so far been much less frequently used to derive social information about these communities and to improve our understanding of the sociolinguistics and stylistic structure of these languages. This paper surveys linguistic research on early written texts in the anglophone Caribbean and takes a critical look at the theories and methods employed to study these texts. It emphases the sociolinguistic value of the texts and provides some exemplary analyses of early Creole documents.
