Abstract

Haitian Creole (HC) and Spanish display linguistic traits that are typologically different. These differences are studied through the possessives and the clitics of both languages in a contact situation or possible encounters. The study emphasizes the uniquely post nuclear position of possessives in HC. These two languages have had a past and a present punctuated by a historic and linguistic coexistence that warrants the pedagogical value of a contrastive study of their distinctive features. Conclusively, pronominal and possessive clitics when compared and contrasted in these two languages, due to their range of differences, have necessarily a didactic and pedagogical implication for the learning of any of the two languages by the learner of either Spanish or HC. | 98 pages
