Abstract
This paper aims to give account of the distribution in Guadeloupean Creole of the form of the complementizer
kè. It claims that it has a specific distribution, as it seems to appear in opposition to the zero form.
Besides a sociolinguistic component, the presence of kè is associable with the fact type semantics of the
completive event (Dixon 2006), and so do other grammatical functions and markers that
are featured in the completive clauses when kè is present, such as independent TAM markers on the verb and the
obligatory featuring of a subject form in case of subject coreference.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages (JPCL) aims to provide a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of contact languages for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of contact languages in the social life and culture, including the literature, of their communities.
