Abstract:

Cameroon Pidgin English (CPE) is an English-lexified Atlantic expanded
pidgin/creole spoken in some form by an estimated 50% of Cameroon’s
population, primarily in the anglophone west regions, but also in urban
centres throughout the country. Primarily a spoken language, CPE enjoys a
vigorous oral presence in Cameroon, and the linguistic examples illustrating
this description are drawn from a spoken corpus consisting of a range of text
types, including oral narratives, radio broadcasts and spontaneous
conversation. The authors’ typologically-framed investigation of the features
of the language, from its phonetics, phonology and lexicon to its syntax and
discourse structure, allows the reader a clear view of the linguistic
character of CPE, offering a comprehensive description of the language that
will be of interest to creolists as well as linguists interested in African
languages, contact linguistics and comparative linguistics.
