Über Autor(innen)

Ströbel, Liane
is a (longterm) Visiting Professor at the University of Aachen. Her research seeks to explain diachronic language phenomena from a cognitive perspective. For that purpose she has studied creole language structures in order to gain a better understanding of universal mechanisms that govern language change in contact situations.

Schwegler, Armin
is Professor of Spanish Linguistics at the University of California, Irvine. His early research focused on Romance languages in general, with an emphasis on language typology and diachronic changes between Latin and modern Spanish, French, (Brazilian) Portuguese and so forth. The past three decades he has concentrated on the Afro-Hispanic diaspora in the New World, with special focus on Palenquero (Colombia)

McWhorter, John
teaches linguistics, philosophy and music history at Columbia University. He has written extensively on creole languages and on grammatical restructuring amidst language contact worldwide as well as books on language for a general public. He earned his doctorate from Stanford University.
