Jean Bernabé

Jean Bernabé (1942 in Le Lorrain, Martinique – 12 April 2017 in Fort-De-France, Martinique) was a writer and linguist.

Bernabé was a professor of language and culture at the Université Antilles-Guyane. He was an important figure in the créolité movement, having co-authored the seminal 1989 essay on the subject, Eloge de la créolité (In Praise of Creoleness), with Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphaël Confiant.

Although Bernabé's work lauds the Créole language, on which he has written seminal works, his literary creation is exclusively in the French language.

gollark: If this is like our proof, which it seems to be.
gollark: I believe the issue is that you can't determine which of the reals are actually computable with a non-infinite algorithm.
gollark: Obviously "computable" exists elsewhere.
gollark: "Computable numbers", I mean.
gollark: Is "computable" a thing you made up? Because it sounds as if it might suffer similar issues to in our proof, which uses "finitely describable" similarly.
