Dissertation (1998): Limonese Creole: A case of contact-induced language change. Evidence indicates that the lexicon and morphosyntax of Limonese Creole (LC) are being affected due to contact with Costa Rican Spanish and Standard English (SE). Spanish, the prestige language of the wider community, has not altogether replaced LC resulting in a situation in which LC speakers borrow from Spanish when speaking LC. Borrowing includes not only core lexicon, but also, morphosyntactic borrowing including a shift in the word order of the NP and the addition to Spanish root morphemes of LC affixes. The study has 3 goals: 1) describe the nature and extent of borrowing, 2) evaluate Thomason and Kaufman's (T & K) 1988 framework for contact-induced language change, and 3) offer criteria for differentiating between codeswitching and borrowing.
