• Based on any personal experiences or other knowledge that you may have with Spanish and English (or any other languages in contact), respond to the following: Do you find the types to be clearly distinct from one another? Or, do you find that there is a fine line between some of the types? Explain your response with details and/or examples for at least three of the types.
• There is much more to the issue of creolization and creole languages. In fact, within linguistics, there is actually somewhat of a debate (sometimes heated) as to whether or not creole languages are actually that much different than other language varieties from contact situations, such as Spanglish. You might feel compelled to do a little extra research on the issue. Regardless, what are your thoughts about it? Based on what you know now, do you buy the argument that creole languages are new languages, as I have presented it? Explain.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
