Abstract
In this article we present newly found lexical and grammatical data pertaining to Skepi, the Dutch-lexified creole which
is now extinct but was once widespread in the Essequibo area of what is today the Republic of Guyana. The source of this new material are
the linguistic notes contained in the diary of Reverend Thomas B. Youd, a missionary in service of the Church Missionary Society, who was
active in the area from 1833 to 1842.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages (JPCL) aims to provide a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of contact languages for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of contact languages in the social life and culture, including the literature, of their communities.
