Why is it important?

It summarizes the content of the book, insisting on its clear and readable form, underscoring the book's value as a rich resourceful continued scholarly inquiry. It is a goldmine for anyone interested in research in Creole languages and other languages.

Perspectives

The book is designed to reach both speakers of the language who can sometimes be intrigued by certain constructions in their own language, a language without a standard norm, as well as Creolists or non-Creole speakers and linguists in general. The book is engaging and far from dull.
