The handbook offers a state-of-the-art overview of French Creole studies, from a both comparative and language-specific perspective. Covering structural and historical features of French-based Creole languages as well as their diaphasic and diastratic variation, this volume can be used as an introduction to French Creole as much as a reference work for experts in the field.
