About this document
Romance Based Creoles by justlily is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses expletive constructions in Romance-based creoles to provide evidence about typological correlates of pure syntax. Data from Papiamentu shows that the language exhibits expletive pro and argues against correlations between pro-drop and lack of subject expletives. The data also casts doubt on claims that argument externalization is related to Case Theory and indicates that the argument/adjunct distinction is important for expletive constructions in Papiamentu.
