Slawe, Khoekhoen en Nederlandse Pidgins aan die Kaap, ca. 1590-1720 : 'n kritiese ondersoek na die sosiohistoriese grondslae van die konvergensieteorie oor die ontstaan van Afrikaans

This study is a critical investigation of the socio-historical foundations of the Convergence theory for the genesis of Afrikaans, as developed by Hans den Besten. It is done within the theorectical framework of the study of Creole genesis as suggested by the gradualists (John Singler, Jacques Arends and Philip Baker) and the Complementary theory of Salikoko Mufwene. These approaches stress teh use of socio-historical material. In line with this the work of historians on aspects of the early Cape society, ca. 1590-1720, especially the number, distribution, origins and mutal contact between the three main groups at the Cape, viz. the Khoikhoi, slaves and European settlers is used.
