The Atlas presents full colour maps of the distribution among the
pidgins and creoles of 130 structural linguistic features drawn
from their phonology, syntax, morphology, and lexicons. In addition
there are some maps with relevant sociolinguistic features. The
languages include pidgins, creoles, and other contact languages
based on English, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and French and
languages from Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Each map
is accompanied by a detailed description and discussion of the
feature. The project is the successor to the successful World Atlas
of Language Structures and draws on the same linguistic,
cartographic, and computing knowledge and skills of the Max Planck
Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. The Atlas is
published alongside a three-volume Survey of Pidgins and Creoles
which describes the histories and linguistic characteristics of 76
languages. The books have been designed, edited, and written by the
world's leading experts in the field and represent the most
systematic and comprehensive guide ever published to the world's
pidgins, creoles and mixed languages. Individually and together the
books are a unique resource of outstanding value for linguists of
all persuasions throughout the world.
