Gibson compares the variation exemplified in Comfa with the Guyanese Creole language and challenges the continuum theory of Creole linguistics, which predicts that the Creole language will evolve to become English. Gibson also explores the implications of both forms of social behavior for the notion of identity in a multicultural community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kean Gibson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791449602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791449608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.92w x 0.55d","brand":"Kean Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438008447231,"sku":"9780791449608","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecd8c7e6-d664-4847-887e-4eb07a22705f.jpg?v=1777168175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comfa-religion-and-creole-language-kean-gibson-9780791449608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
