Publication of the Proceedings of the Round Table on Africanisms in Afro-American Language Varieties

这一奖项将允许以非裔美国人的语言变体出版非洲语系，这本书载有对1988年在佐治亚大学举行的非裔美国人语言变体中的非洲人主义国际圆桌会议上提交的论文的修订，该会议由国家科学基金会赞助。这些投稿是按主题组织的，因此这本书可以更有效地作为大西洋克里奥尔起源的标准参考，而不是简单的会议记录。尽管标题不同，但非洲主义促进了非洲底物假说、语言生物程序假说(现已改进为词汇学习假说)和上层假说之间的对话。这本书是底物假说的一个转折点，突出了克里奥尔起源这一主题的巨大复杂性，并为未来的研究分析提出了比文献中的分析更折中和更复杂的建议。这本书将有助于更广泛地传播新的研究途径和概念调整。

ABSTRACT This award will allow the publication of Africanisms in Afro- American Language Varieties, a book which contains revisions of papers presented at the International Round Table on Africanisms in Afro-American Language Varieties held at the University of Georgia in 1988, sponsored by the NSF. The contributions are organized thematically, so that the book may be used more efficiently as a standard reference on the genesis of Atlantic creoles than as simple conference proceedings. Despite its title, Africanisms fosters a dialogue between the African Substrate Hypothesis, the Language Bioprogram Hypothesis (now improved into the Lexical Learning Hypothesis), and the Superstrate Hypothesis. The book is a turning point for the Substrate Hypothesis, highlighting the enormous complexity of the subject matter of creole genesis, and suggesting for future research analyses that are much more eclectic and sophisticated than those in the literature. The book will contribute to a wider dissemination of new research avenues and conceptual adjustments.
