post-creole continuum is characterized by a cline of lexical, phonological, and grammatical features ranging from those closest to a standard form of the creole's lexifier [dominant] language (the acrolect) to those furthest from the lexifier language, and therefore most 'creole-like' (the basilect). Thus, there is a great deal of variation in the speech community and the point at which a form of speech is located along the continuum depends on the context as well as the social characteristics of the speaker. For example, the speech of the urban professional elite would be towards the acrolectal end whereas the speech of a poor rural villager would be towards the basilectal end. Intermediate or mesolectal varieties are also found in between."
