Recent theories of creole genesis propose that creole languages did not emerge via the expansion of pidgin varieties (DeGraff, 2001; Mufwene, 2001, 2008). This paper argues that the multiethnolects that have formed in many European cities constitute a demonstration case of the genesis scenario these new creolist theories reconstruct. Crucially, however, the multiethnolects, while displaying a modest degree of grammatical simplification and restructuring, exhibit this to nothing approaching the degree that creoles do. This supports the idea that creoles form from a break in transmission rather than simply hybridization.

多民族主义者揭示出克里奥尔人的起源

克里奥尔语的起源的最新理论提出克里奥尔语的语言不是通过pidgin品种的扩展而出现的（DeGraff，2001； Mufwene，2001，2008）。本文认为，在许多欧洲城市中形成的多民族主义者构成了这些新的克里特主义理论所重建的创世场景的例证。然而，最重要的是，多民族人士虽然表现出适度的语法简化和重组，却没有表现出接近克里奥尔语的程度。这支持了克里奥尔人从传播的中断而不是简单地杂交形成的想法。
