 The Creole City
This assumption about the identity of the Creoles is related to the widely used figure of “La Belle Créole.” Whether the name of a tobacco factory, a polka, or a steamboat, the emblematic “Belle Créole” originated in a romanticized and exclusionary representation of Francophone New Orleans.
A high-born Creole lady argued that during the thirty years of Spanish domination, New Orleans Creoles were never forced to dance the fandango, and that she expected the same respect from the newly-arrived Americans.
In an 1885 lecture The Creoles of History and the Creoles of Romance, Charles Gayarré, a prominent judge and historian, disputed point by point Cable’s depiction of Creole New Orleans and emphatically refuted Cable’s questioning of the racial purity of the Creoles.

 Globalization Insider X/3, Is there a Universal Creole for Localization Efforts?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When a translation or localization job is requested to be in “Creole”, the first question that should immediately be raised is: “Which Creole?” In 1999, there was the case of a Creole language translation job that was not clarified and communicated effectively throughout the supply chain of the translation vendors.
Another case is that of Haiti in which Haitian Creole is the native language of the entire population, and is the only language used by over 90% of Haitians.
Creoles are one example of the necessity for localization, and it is highly probable that such needs can be found in a significant number of less-prevalent languages throughout the world.

In the case of Creole languages in the Caribbean, the "upheaval" is the past history of slavery.
Creole refers to a mixed African/European language as well as Europeans born in the West Indies; therefore it is inappropriate to refer to the language of Africans in Jamaica as Creole.
Creole is similar to English in terms of vocabulary and most speakers are inferior in socioeconomic terms, so it is easy to assume Creole is a poor form of English.

 language and history of louisiana and new orleans
Strictly speaking, a New Orleans Creole is a descendant of an early French or Spanish settler, "born in the colony," not in Europe.
According to most dictionaries, Creole comes from the same Latin root as the word "create," with the French creating their "Creole" from the Spanish "criollo." Over time, this went from denoting a person born of Spanish parents overseas to a person born similarly of French parents.
Creole (cree-ol) - The word originally described those people of mixed French and Spanish blood who migrated from Europe or were born in Southeast Louisiana and lived as sophisticated city or plantation dwellers.

In the case of creole languages, however, the interpretation of phenomena as grammaticalization in this sense may be problematic, an important complicating factor being the possibility of influence from other languages present in the contact situation in which a creole develops.
Some cases from Sranan will be briefly presented in a historical perspective, in order to illustrate that phenomena that at first sight may look like grammaticalization may actually rather result from transfer from West African substrate languages, with the grammaticalization patterns in those languages serving as a channel for grammaticalization in the creole language.
Cases in point are Sranan locative verbs that are derived from English prepositions or adverbs.

 Why creole SVC
The origin of serial verb constructions in Creole languages has been the topic of considerable discussion, with the state of the art summarized in 1988 articles by Bickerton and Muysken in Newmeyer’s Cambridge Survey There are two basic positions reflected in these articles.
It is no accident, for instance, that the creoles that have few or no serial constructions are those that inherited the largest amount of superstrate morphology, while the creoles with the most serial constructions are precisely those that inherited least morphology from their superstrates.
Initially, the creole will look to earlier, pidgin, stages of the language and select devices to mark grammatical relations from that source, to the extent that the available data are not too impoverished.

This study focuses on the cognitive processes involved in creole genesis - relexification, reanalysis and direct levelling - processes which the author demonstrates play a significant role in language genesis and change in general.
The author argues that the creators of pidgins/creoles use the parametric values of their native languages in establishing those of the language that they are creating and the semantic principles of their own grammar in concatenating morphemes and words in the new language.
This theory is documented on the basis of a comparison of Haitian creole with its contributing French and West African languages.

 Middle English as Creole:
Creole tends to be something of a “ghetto” language, co-existing simultaneously with the dominant (usually colonial) language; unlike pidgins, however, creoles acquire native speakers.
Dalton-Puffer argues this language death hypothesis to emphasize the near-impossibility of arguing conclusively on Middle English’s status as creole; by using the same arguments as her predecessors, she builds a case that up until its conclusion (English is not, in fact, dead) carries the same internal logic as the creole case.
Rather than seeing Middle English as a creole that took on aspects of the socially dominant language in England, Rothwell argues that the English was “enrich[ed]” by the passing of “lexical and morphological/syntactical” (163) processes.

 trinicenter.com | Labelling and discriminating against the weak
There is no auxiliary in the Creole in the sense that there is in Standard English, for we do not have anything that can do the work of a missing main verb (understood to be there).
If we go back to the relevant Creole sentence, we will find that 'ent' is stressed, as well as being able to occur independently at the end of sentences in the role of proposition questioner.
I suggest that the default Creole system (in which preverbal markers must be accompanied by their main verbs) forced 'ent' to behave like unstressed 'does' and the others.
