Etymological Dictionary of the French Creoles in America

Dictionnaire étymologique des créoles français d 'Amérique（DECA）被认为是Dictionnaire étymologique des créoles français de l' Océan Indien（DECOI，4卷，1993年，2000年至2007年），和DECOI一样，它将分为两个部分：第一部分：法语原词;第二部分：非法语原词或不熟悉词。从共时的角度来看，DECA的目的是在路易斯安那州，海地，小安的列斯群岛和法属圭亚那讲法语的克里奥尔语词汇的完整清单。从历时的角度来看，第一部分可以被认为是对殖民法语的描述的贡献，即从世纪开始定居在新大陆的殖民者的法语口语。在第二部分中，我们的目的是记录克里奥尔语的话，这是从接触语言（美洲印第安人和非洲语言，西班牙语，葡萄牙语）在殖民和种植园社会的背景下复制。从后来的语言接触在19世纪世纪和从英语和法语复制在语言规划过程中在20世纪世纪的外来词也将包括在内。

The Dictionnaire étymologique des créoles français d'Amérique (DECA) is conceived as the continuation and completion of the Dictionnaire étymologique des creoles français de l'Océan Indien (DECOI, 4 vols., 1993, 2000-2007) and, like the DECOI, it will be divided in two parts: Première Partie: Mots d'origine française; Deuxième Partie: Mots d'origine non-française ou inconnue. From a synchronic perspective, the DECA aims at a complete inventory of the lexicon of French-based creoles spoken in Louisiana, Haiti, the Lesser Antilles and French Guiana. From a diachronic perspective, the first part can be considered as a contribution to the description of colonial French, the spoken French of the colonists who settled in the New World from the 17th century onward. In the second part we aim at recording creole words which were copied from contact languages (Amerindian and African languages, Spanish, Portuguese) in the context of colonization and plantation societies. Loanwords from later language contact in the 19th century and from English and French copied in the process of language planning in the 20th century will also be included.
