      Focusing on the unique linguistic features of Saramaccan, this book provides the first comprehensive description of this English-based creole, highlighting its significant divergence from European language structures in phonology, morphology, and syntax. It explores the intricate valence-sensitive system that indicates movement and direction through serial verb constructions, offering insights into the broader phenomenon of serialization. This work contributes to ongoing discussions about the origins and characteristics of creole languages.
