On the origins of locative for in West African Pidgin English: A componential approach
Abstract
African Pidgin Englishes. The development of for is framed
componentially, that is, in terms of deriving its constructional
meaning from different components that sustained linguistic and
cultural contact along the Upper and Lower Guinea Coasts
during the Early Modern Period (1500-1800) among West
African, Portuguese, Afro-Portuguese, British and Afro-British
populations and the sailing populations of both official naval
vessels of the British and Portuguese Empires and privateering
ships.
