GALARZA BALLESTER, María Teresa. Creolization and the acquisition of the verbal system in Haitian, Jamaican and Papiamento. Lexis [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.2, pp.337-374. ISSN 0254-9239.
This paper constitutes a study of the system encoding tense, mood and aspect in the creole languages spoken in Haiti, Jamaica, and the islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire. The research shows how the TMA system of Haitian, Jamaican and Papiamento has been developed and hypothesizes that creole formation involves several degrees of input from both superstrate and substrate languages in a process guided by language universals. Furthermore, it argues that not all aspects of the TMA systems are simply derived from the source languages but result from the interaction between language acquisition and creole development.
