Creole Arabic: The orphan of all orphans

Abstract

The fact that Creole Arabic has never been effectively integrated into a linguistic subdiscipline has had the deleterious effect of limiting the contribution it has made to Arabic and creole studies, in particular, and to contact linguistics, in general. In this article, aspects of Creole Arabic are shown to be of fundamental relevance to such issues as the contrast between mixed languages as opposed to creole languages, the definition of the minimal linguistic attributes of creole languages, and the characterization of what constitutes a creole language.
