Abstract:

This volume represents a comprehensive description of the structure of
Cameroonian Pidgin, including an overview of its socio-cultural context,
writing system, sounds, word formation, word classes and sentence structures.
It comprises a corpus of 540 Cameroonian Pidgin proverbs and a rich glossary
of over 1000 words and expressions typical of Cameroonian Pidgin which are
helpful in understanding the characteristic features of the language, as well
as the cultural, the social, and the philosophical contexts of the Cameroonian
Pidgin speaker. Written with the first-hand experience of a “native speaker”,
it will be of interest to ordinary users, as well as students, researchers and
professional linguists interested in the way the language functions. Indeed,
it represents a useful resource for anyone wishing to learn or know about
Pidgin, especially tourists and professionals traveling to West and Central
Africa.
