This paper investigates the origins of Guianese French Creole. Whereas the existing literature assumes Guianese was formed in situ, we argue the creole is in fact genetically related to Lesser Antillean French Creole. We support our hypothesis by means of a range of comparative linguistic data. Furthermore, a historical framework is provided that accounts for linguistic transfer from the Lesser Antilles to French Guiana in the second half of the 17th century.

圭亚那人的小安的列斯起源

本文调查了圭亚那法语克里奥尔语的起源。鉴于现有文献假设圭亚那语是在就地，我们认为克里奥尔语实际上与小安的列斯法语克里奥尔语有遗传关系。我们通过一系列比较语言数据来支持我们的假设。此外，还提供了一个历史框架来解释 17 世纪下半叶从小安的列斯群岛到法属圭亚那的语言转移。
