Abstract:

This book focuses on the structure and sociolinguistics of Nigerian Pidgin
English. Its major aim is to serve as a compendium which touches different
major aspects of NPE as it has been observed that earlier works in this area
have focused only on one aspect or the other. It will offer a broad survey of
the form and functions of Nigerian Pidgin (NP) in different domains. The book
promises to investigate the use of NP in such domains as popular culture,
advertisement, social media and online discussion fora. One major strong point
of this volume is the fact that it will direct attention to different fertile
areas of NP by focusing, "inter alia", on its social functions, its morphology
and syntax, its regional varieties, its (possible) use as a viable medium of
instruction in school, the changing attitudes of people towards its use, the
place of NP in relation to language planning and policy in Nigeria as well as
sociolinguistic variation within NP. The book will make a significant
contribution to the existing literature on NP as, unlike earlier studies in
this area, it will explore the grammatical, sociolinguistic and perceptual
aspects of the language. By bringing together the expertise of renowned
Nigerian and international scholars who have conducted research in this area,
the volume will be an essential resource for researchers, graduate and
undergraduate students interested not only in Nigerian Pidgin but also on
contact linguistics.
