Overview

Are there common specific patterns in the Tense Mood Aspect systems of creoles? Do creoles constitute a structural type of language? This in-depth synchronic description of the Tense Mood Aspect system of contemporary Hawai'i Creole English, is a language-internal analysis based on extensive firsthand data, both written and spoken. The language variety has been used as a basis for major linguistic hypotheses. A strength of this book is the use of a language independent typological framework, placing the system in a cross linguistic perspective.
