Manual of French-based Creole Languages

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.

The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. A special focus will be placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores, which the two older reference works of the discipline, Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988-2005) and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003-2008) did not discuss in detail, as well as on current research trends.
