Review of Sranan Syntax, by Jan Voorhoeve
Samarin, William J.. - : University of Chicago Press, 1964
Abstract: Sranan (also known as Taki-Taki, Negro English, Bush English, and Ningre Tongo) is one of the three creole languages of Surinam (or Dutch Guiana), the other two being Saramaccan and Djuka. Its origin in Surinam goes back to the initial colonization of the area by the English who first arrived in 1651 and soon imported African slaves. Their colony by the year 1665 numbered 1500 Englishmen and 3400 slaves, of whom 400 were Indian (Amerindian?) and 3000 African. In 1667 the Dutch assumed control of the colony, but not before Sranan was fairly well established as a lingua franca. To this day its morpheme stock is predominantly English. Pidginization of the language of the English masters might account for the origin of the language, but I prefer to believe that some slaves already spoke a contact language before arriving in Surinam and that this language was re-charged with English under great linguistic and social pressure. Today Sranan is probably the most important vernacular language of Surinam. It has a long history of philological activity, beginning with works published by the Moravian Brethren Mission (e.g. Christian Ludwig Schumann's dictionary of 1783). Since 1940 there has been a revived interest in the language on the part of the native speakers, some of whom have even produced creditable poetry in it.' 1
