It is often assumed that creolization involves a break in the transmission of grammar. On the basis of data drawn from the TMA system of Haitian creole, as compared with those of its source languages — French, the superstratum language, and Fongbe, one of the substratum languages — this paper argues that creolization does not involve a break in transmission of grammar. The properties of the Haitian creole TMA system are shown to reflect in a systematic way those of its contributing languages. While the syntactic and the semantic properties of the TMA markers of the creole parallel those of Fongbe, the markers' phonological form appears to be derived from phonetic strings found in the superstratum language. This systematic division of properties is predicted by the hypothesis that relexification has played a major role in the formation of the creole. The fact that the lexical entries of the creole have phonological representations which are derived from phonetic strings found in the superstratum language is the visible signal that creolization involves the creation of a new language. The fact that the lexical entries of the creole show semantic and syntactic properties that parallel those of the languages of the substratum argues that there has been no break in the transmission of grammar in the formation of the creole.

Recent Developments

AbstractThe following note is a brief discussion of the most recent developments in the language debate in Haiti. Our main objective is to raise awareness of the ongoing tensions between those that advocate for some type of bilingual Haitian society and those who passionately seek to empower Haitian Creole. These reflections were triggered by the availability of the first comprehensive linguistic, social and historical account of Haitian Creole, Spears and Joseph's (2010)

Nurse Burnout

Purpose of Study: Though nursing burnout is a global problem, research on nurse burnout in Haiti is scarce. In a context of multiple personal, social, and environmental challenges, this study assessed burnout and associated factors among Haitian nurses. Design of Study: A multi-site cross-sectional study. Methods: A survey in French and Haitian Creole was conducted in five Haitian hospitals using forward and back translated scales measuring burnout (emotional exhaustion [EE], depersonalization [DP], personal accomplishment [PA]), self-efficacy, nursing work environment, resilience, and demographics. Findings: Haitian nurses ( N = 179) self-reported moderate EE ( M = 21, SD = 11.18), low DP ( Mdn = 2.0, range = 29), and high personal accomplishment ( Mdn = 41.0, range = 33). General self-efficacy ( M = 32.31, SD = 4.27) and resilience ( M = 26.68, SD = 5.86) were high. Dissatisfaction with salary, autonomy, and staffing were evident. Conclusions: It is noteworthy that burnout was lower than expected given the scarce resource, difficult socio-politico-economic environment. High levels of self-efficacy and resilience likely mitigated a higher level of burnout. Adaptation enables these nurses to manage their critical conditions and practice holistic nursing, which may inspire hope among nurses in similar contexts.

Abstract Objective Moyamoya is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by carotid artery stenosis or occlusion. Tiny “moyamoya” blood vessels open at the brain base to compensate, often resulting in large vessel ischemic strokes or from hemorrhage of moyamoya vessels. Peak incidence in adults is 30 to 50 years old and 30% progress bilaterally. 54 year-old right-handed Black Haitian female with 13 years of education presented with new stroke, now diagnosed with bilateral moyamoya syndrome. Premorbid history includes hypertension, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, patent foramen ovale, and malignant phyllodes breast tumor treated by resection and local radiation. Presents with no traditional risk factors for moyamoya (e.g., brain radiation, sickle cell disease, neurofibromatosis). Method Five years previously patient experienced multi-focal embolic MCA strokes from left internal carotid occlusion attributed to hypercoagulability of malignancy, returning to previous activities except driving. Present perfusion CT showed complete occlusion of bilateral cavernous carotid arteries. Diagnostic angiogram showed collateral system via PCA-MCA pial-pial collaterals in parieto-occipital-temporal regions, and leptomeningeal collaterals to ACA territory. She underwent bilateral STA-MCA direct bypass. Results Acute neuropsychological testing conducted in Haitian Creole by native-speaking trainee showed expressive aphasia, orientation to person and situation, ability to follow 1-step commands, moderately impaired naming of familiar objects, reduced sustained attention. Also left hemiparesis, right gaze preference, and left homonymous hemianopsia. Conclusions The present case study delineates development of secondary moyamoya in a Black Haitian woman without known risk factors, resulting in significant cognitive-linguistic deficits consistent with brain findings. Limitations include lack of validated measures in Haitian Creole.
