On the basis of a systemic analysis of the public language

situation in Kupwar village, they question the validity of

differentiating creolization from other forms of language change

because of the appearance of similar features in both systems.

<[LINK]> They maintain that Kupwar's (as well as other

places') "creole-like" convergence, and its social importance, is

"of the same type as that associated with the changes that create

a pidgin and persist in a creole." They assert that this is so

"whatever the exact historical circumstances." {<[LINK]> How do

they arrive at this conclusion?}
