Abstract:

Designed, edited, and written by the world's leading experts in the field, the
three-volume Survey brings together over ninety leading experts to present
concise accounts of the world's pidgin and creole languages. The division of
its three volumes reflects the languages from which they originated. Each
entry provides a linguistic and social history of the pidgin or creole in
question and an analysis of their linguistic characteristics, and is
accompanied by a location map and a bibliography. The project is the successor
to the successful World Atlas of Language Structures and draws on the same
linguistic, cartographic, and computing knowledge and skills of the Max Planck
Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. The Atlas presents full
colour maps of the distribution among the pidgins and creoles of 130
structural linguistic features drawn from their phonology, syntax, morphology,
and lexicons. In addition there are some maps with relevant sociolinguistic
features. The three Survey volumes and the Atlas are available in one Super
Pack, as well as individually.
