Abstract:
This volume presents a historical-sociolinguistic description and analysis of
Maritime Polynesian Pidgin. It offers linguistic and sociohistorical
substantiation for a regional Eastern Polynesian-based pidgin, and challenges
conventional Eurocentric assumptions about early colonial contact in the
eastern Pacific by arguing that Maritime Polynesian Pidgin preceded the
introduction of Pidgin English by as much as a century. Emanuel J. Drechsel
not only opens up new methodological avenues for historical-sociolinguistic
research in Oceania by a combination of philology and ethnohistory, but also
gives greater recognition to Pacific Islanders in early contact between
cultures. Students and researchers working on language contact, language
typology, historical linguistics and sociolinguistics will want to read this
book. It redefines our understanding of how Europeans and Americans interacted
with Pacific Islanders in Eastern Polynesia during early encounters and offers
an alternative model of language contact.

Introduction; 2. Maritime Polynesian Pidgin and Pidgin and Creole linguistics;
