scroll.huma-num.fr This publication deals with the data of French-based Seychelles Creole and is part of SCrolL, an open-access database that allows for typological comparison of clausal subordination in Creole languages. The database consists of two integrated query interfaces that furnish fine-grained morphosyntactic information about 10 creoles and permit to: -Compare the formal encoding of adverbial, complement, and relative subordinate relations across the languages of the sample, with examples and qualitative information about the main language-dependent factors producing morphosyntactic variation; -Compare the semantic features of the subordinating devices across the languages of the sample, trace back their etymological and functional origins, and observe their synchronic variation.
