Articles

The claim that articles are "integral to any creole" can be thrown out immediately by looking at the grammar of creoles that make little or no use of articles, such as Tok Pisin. This is an unsourced claim about a claim of a guy who has apparently only looked at Hawaiian Pidgin and presumably one other creole language (referred to here only as "Creole") and generalised that to "all creoles". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.226.227.203 (talk) 11:07, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tense Aspect Particle Ordering

According to Bickerton, all observed creole languages strictly follow a structure that has the anterior particle precede the irreal particle, and the irreal particle precede the nonpunctual particle, although in certain languages some compounded forms may be replaced by other constructions.

Tok Pisin places the future particle (referred to here as 'irreal particle') earlier, before the predicate marker and in many cases, before even the subject, negating Bickerton's claim of "all observed creole languages". 62.226.227.203 (talk) 11:20, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
