Recent documentation efforts in Cannanore and the\u0000 Cochin area have revealed a language that is strikingly similar to its substrate/adstrate Malayalam in several fundamental domains\u0000 of grammar, often contradicting previous records from the late 19th-century and the input of its main lexifier, Portuguese. In\u0000 this article, this is shown by comparing Malabar Indo-Portuguese with both Malayalam and Portuguese with respect to features in\u0000 the domains of word order (head-final syntax and harmonic syntactic patterns) and case-marking (the distribution of the oblique\u0000 case). Based on older records and certain synchronic linguistic features of the Malabar Creoles, this article proposes that the\u0000 observed isomorphism between modern Malabar Indo-Portuguese and Malayalam has to be explained as the product of either a gradual\u0000 process of convergence, or the resolution of historical competition between Dravidian-like and Portuguese-like features.","PeriodicalId":43608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45205372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, previous studies often included\u0000 participants who are affiliated with education such as students, teachers, and language policy makers, or those from higher social\u0000 classes. The current study, however, utilized a language attitudes questionnaire to collect data from 78 adult informants from\u0000 diverse backgrounds.

Findings\u0000 revealed that participants of higher socio-economic status have more positive attitudes towards French than those from lower\u0000 socio-economic status. Results also showed that there is a tendency for age, gender, and literacy level to affect language\u0000 attitudes. For instance, positive attitudes towards Kreyòl were found to be more prevalent among older participants than younger\u0000 respondents. Similarly, male participants had more negative attitudes towards French than female informants.
