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.
