| Citazioni | The creole language is usually referred to as the basilect, and its corresponding standard as the acrolect. Gibson [Gibson, K. 1982. “Tense and aspect in Guyanese Creole: a syntactic, semantic and pragmatic analysis”, Dphil. dissertation, University of York. ] […] draws a discrete line between the acrolect and all other varieties in the continuum, thus minimizing the continuous differences between the basilectal and mesolectal varieties, which are all classified as ‘creole’. |
