Subject: Morphology: to Grammaticize or to Grammaticalize?

Hello!

I'm master student in Linguistics. I would be greatful if people who
make distinction between these two terms (grammaticize and
grammaticalize) could tell me what is the distinction! Thank you!

Best,

Fellow Linguists!

It is widely agreed that English is the superstratum of Tok Pisin but,
what are Tok Pisin's substratum languages, which exact languages among
the Austronesian family?

I know about Tolai, I but can't find any data. Would you have
references to propose for it or for all other language that could be
included into 'Tok Pisin substratum'?
