Abstract:

This lucid and theory-neutral introduction to the study of pidgins, creoles
and mixed languages covers both theoretical and empirical issues pertinent to
the field of contact linguistics. Part I presents the theoretical background,
with chapters devoted to the definition of terms, the sociohistorical
settings, theories on the genesis of pidgins and creoles, as well as
discussions on language variation and the sociology of language. Part II
empirically tests assumptions made about the linguistic characteristics of
pidgins and creoles by systematically comparing them with other natural
languages in all linguistic domains. This is the first introduction that
consistently applies the findings of the Atlas of Pidgin and Creole Language
Structures and systematically includes extended pidgins and mixed languages in
the discussion of each linguistic feature. The book is designed for students
of courses with a focus on pidgins, creoles and mixed languages, as well as
typologically oriented courses on contact linguistics.
