Datapoint San Andres Creole English/Predicative noun phrases
From a language-particular perspective, da is a focus particle, not a copula as I claimed in Bartens (2003: 76). This is the case of the basilect whereas the acrolect employs iz, woz (< English is, was) and occasionally even bii. However, for the cross-linguistic purposes of APiCS, it is classified as as value 1 (cf. the similar situation in Belizean Creole).
