| Citazioni | […] a pidgin may change its lexical affiliation at different stages of its development. This is referred to as 'relexification' […]. Although relexification appears to be of minimal relevance to the formative stages of a creole, it often occurs in the later stages of development […]. It is clear that relexification is a powerful individual force in pidginization and in the creation of new languages. |
