Description
Relabeling in Language Genesis by Claire Lefebvre offers a comprehensive overview of research on relabeling in language contact situations over the last 15 years. The book addresses key questions about the process of relabeling, including how it applies across different language contact situations and how it interacts with other processes in language genesis. Lefebvre examines the predictions of two theoretical frameworks, Construction Grammar and Principles and Parameters, and analyzes how relabeling contributes to the formation of creoles.
