Reviews

The methodological rigour of the analysis carried out by the various authors of the contributions collected in this volume and the solid theoretical premises on which each essay is based compel this much-needed book not only to the attention of scholars and students carrying out comparative work on African languages, but also to that of linguists, typologists and researchers investigating the influence of the West African substrate on Atlantic creoles.
