Abstract:

Tok Pisin is one of the most important languages of Melanesia and is
used in a wide range of public and private functions in Papua New
Guinea. The language has featured prominently in Pidgin and Creole
linguistics and has featured in a number of debates in theoretical
linguistics. With their extensive fieldwork experience and vast
knowledge of the archives relating to Papua New Guinea, Peter
Muhlhausler,Thomas E. Dutton and Suzanne Romaine compiled
this Tok Pisin text collection. It brings together representative
samples of the largest Pidgin language of the Pacific area. These
texts represent about 150 years of development of this language and
will be an invaluable resource for researchers, language policy makers
and individuals interested in the history of Papua New Guinea.
