creole language

A creole language, or simply a creole, is a stable language that originates seemingly as a "new" language, sometimes with features that are not inherited from any apparent source, without however qualifying in any appreciable way as a mixed language. In the earliest days of modern creolistics, conceptions of creole genesis were largely developmental and creoles were uniformly assumed to be nativized pidgins culminating in Hall's (1966) notion of the pidgin-creole life cycle. Despite some opposition, a unified theory for explaining creole phenomena seemed at hand.
