This is the second of two related title entities in an “Atlas” of their “Structures” that Blasi (“BLAH-zee”), Michaelis (“mee-kah-EHL-ihs”), and Haspelmath (“HAHS-puhl-maht”) used to analyze if these entities are subject to the “cafeteria principle.” A proposal to maroon six couples on a desert island to study the formation of these entities was created by Derek Bickerton to prove his “Bioprogram Hypothesis,” which notes how these entities develop from innate structures. A “prototype hypothesis” named for these entities claims that they have little (*) inflection or lexical tone and was created by John McWhorter. Linguists debate if all of these entities, such as Saramaccan, Sranan Tongo (“SRAH-nahng TOE-ngoe”), and Jamaican Patois (“pat-WAH”), arose from an earlier “pidgin” stage. For 10 points, name this kind of language that includes a “Haitian” example based on French. ■END■
