responsible. A professor of linguistic at the University of Hawaii, (2)______
explores this in one of his recent books. Sometimes around 1880, a (3)______
language catastrophe occurred in Hawaii when thousands of emigrant (4)______

industry. These people speaking different languages were unable to
communicate with each other or with the native Hawaiians or the
dominant English-speaking owners of the plantations. So they first

without the grammatical rules needed for expressing thoughts and
ideas. And then, within a single generation, the whole mass of mixed
peoples began speaking a total new tongue: Hawaiian Creole. The (7)______
new speech was contained ready-made words borrowed from all the (8)______
original tongues, but bore little and no resemblance to the (9)______
predecessors in the rules used for stringing the words together.

had a highly sophisticated grammar. [br] (7)
