This study focuses on the cognitive processes involved in creole genesis: relexification, reanalysis, and direct levelling. The role of these processes is documented by a detailed comparison of Haitian creole with its two major contributing languages, French and Fongbe, to illustrate how mechanisms from source languages show themselves in creole.
