Decreolization

Decreolization is a postulated phenomenon whereby over time a creole language reconverges with the lexifier from which it originally derived.^[1]^[2] The notion has attracted criticism from linguists who argue there is little theoretical or empirical basis on which to postulate a process of language change which is particular to creole languages.^[3]
