The Atlas presents full colour maps of the distribution among the
pidgins and creoles of 120 structural linguistic features drawn
from their phonology, syntax, morphology, and lexicons. The
languages include pidgins, creoles, and 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 commentary. 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 71 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.
