Abstract Guianese French Creole1 (GFC) is one of the least studied French Creoles, which is especially true with respect to its non-French-related input. Combining sociohistorical, demographic and linguistic data, this contribution gives a first lexico-etymological account of the GFC lexicon of non-French origin, including Amerindian and Portuguese influences and especially the quantitative and qualitative nature of the contribution made by different Niger-Congo languages. These findings are discussed in light of controversial hypotheses on the particular influence of early numerical and/or socially dominant ethnolinguistic groups on the creole lexicon (i.e. Baker 2012), as well as with regard to word classes and semantic domains to which the different groups contributed. Whereas Gbe and non-Gbe languages clearly diverge with regard to their semantic contribution, the early dominance of presumably Gbe-speaking slaves in French Guiana is not reflected in the numerical proportion of Gbe-related lexical items in GFC, at least on the basis of my still limited data. This study thus tentatively confirms the lesser explanatory power of the lexicon for creole genesis scenarios and points to the fact that sub- or adstrate-related lexical items may have taken very complex etymological routes, which clearly need further study.

圭亚那法语克里奥尔语中的非法语词典

摘要Guianese法语Creole1(GFC)是研究最少的法语Creoles之一,就其与法国无关的输入而言尤其如此。结合社会历史,人口统计和语言学数据,此著作首次对非法国血统的GFC词典进行了词汇词源解释,包括美洲和葡萄牙的影响,尤其是不同尼日尔-刚果语言所作的贡献的定量和定性性质。根据有争议的假设对这些发现进行讨论,这些假设是关于早期数字和/或社会主导的民族语言群体对克里奥尔语词典的特殊影响(即Baker,2012年),以及不同群体所贡献的单词类别和语义领域。尽管Gbe语言和非Gbe语言在语义贡献方面显然存在分歧,但至少在GFC的基础上,GFB中与Gbe相关的词汇项的数量比例并未反映出在法属圭亚那可能讲Gbe的奴隶的早期优势。我仍然有限的数据。因此,本研究初步证实了词典对克里奥尔语起源场景的较小解释力,并指出以下事实:与子母或母子相关的词汇可能采用了非常复杂的词源路线,显然需要进一步研究。
