Abstract:

Pacific Pidgins and Creoles discusses the complex and fascinating history
of English-based pidgins in the Pacific, especially the three closely
related Melanesian pidgins: Tok Pisin, Pijin, and Bislama. The book details
the central role of the port of Sydney and the linguistic synergies between
Australia and the Pacific islands in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, the role of Pacific islander plantation labor overseas, and the
differentiation which has taken place in the pidgins spoken in the
Melanesian island states in the 20th century. It also looks at the future
of Pacific pidgins at a time of increasing vernacular language endangerment.

Darrell T. Tryon is Professor at the Australian National University, Australia.

Jean-Michel Charpentier researches at the LACITO (Laboratoire de Langues et
Civilisations à Tradition Orale), CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche
Scientifique), Paris, France.
