The focus of this study is upon those pidgins and creoles which are
English based and which have arisen since the fifteenth century.
The book examines the widespread nature of the pidgin/creole
phenomenon and evaluates the current definitions of the terms and
the theories which have been advanced to account for their
existence. The author considers the potential of pidgins and
creoles as literary media and as vehicles for education. She looks
at the sociological and psychological implications of using pidgins
and creoles in the classroom and examines the position of American
Black English' and London Jamaican' in the pidgin/creole continuum.
