"I recommend this book to anthropologists interested in language or
cognition. ...all of the chapters provide succinct statements of general
theory, detailed ethnographic observations, or interesting experimental
results."- Gary B. Palmer, American Anthropologist
"...the book is of interest to anthropological linguists interested in the
relavance of our work to cognitive science."-Malcah Yaeger-Dror, Language
in Society
<TXT>
To what extent is conceptualization based on linguistic
representation? And to what extent is it variable across cultures,
communities or even individuals? Of crucial importance in the attempt
to develop a comprehensive theory of human cognition, these remain
among the most difficult questions in the cognitive sciences. This
volume brings together ten new contributions from leading scholars
working in a wide cross section of disciplines, including linguistics,
anthropology, psychology and philosophy.

An Introduction to Pidgins and Creoles
John Holm, University of Coimbra, Portugal
This textbook is a clear and concise introduction to the study of how
new languages come into being. Starting with an overview of the
field's basic concepts, it surveys the new languages that developed as
a result of the European expansion to the Americas, Africa, Asia and
the Pacific. Long misunderstood as "bad" versions of European
languages, today such varieties as Jamaican Creole English, Haitian
Creole French and New Guinea Pidgin are recognized as distinct
languages in their own right.
