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

该奖项将允许出版《非裔美国语言变体中的非洲人主义》一书，该书收录了1988年在乔治亚大学举行的“非裔美国语言变体中的非洲人主义”国际圆桌会议上发表的论文的修订版，该会议由美国国家科学基金会赞助。这些贡献是按主题组织的，以便本书可以更有效地用作大西洋克里奥尔语起源的标准参考，而不是简单的会议记录。尽管书名为“非洲主义”，但它促进了非洲基质假说、语言生物程序假说（现在被改进为词汇学习假说）和上层假说之间的对话。这本书是基质假说的转折点，突出了克里奥尔起源主题的巨大复杂性，并为未来的研究分析提出了比文献中更为折衷和复杂的建议。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.
