Datapoint Sranan/Order of degree word and adjective
There are two patterns involving the order of degree words and adjectives in Sranan, one in which the degree word follows the adjectival item, and another in which it precedes it. These different patterns correspond to a general difference between two dialects, the default lect in this dataset spoken primarily by Surinamese of African descent in poorer areas of Paramaribo and in rural areas, and the Dutch-influenced dialect, spoken by Dutch-dominant speakers (Winford 1997).
