Abstract
The article presents the first attestations in Virgin Islands Creole of the diagnostic features of English-lexifier contact languages proposed by Baker and Huber (2001). It compares the distribution of these features in Virgin Islands Creole and in seven Atlantic English-lexifier pidgins and creoles. Furthermore, the features identified serve for quantifying the degree of affinity between Virgin Islands Creole and St Kitts Creole. A number of selected diagnostic features are discussed. It is shown that features typical of Eastern Caribbean creoles and those specific to Western Caribbean varieties coexist in Virgin Islands Creole. The findings contribute to the database reflecting the distribution of diagnostic features across English-lexifier contact languages as well as to a better understanding of the history of Virgin Islands Creole.
