Papua New Guinea's struggle for development is intimately bound up
with the history of Tok Pisin, an English-based pidgin that is the
product of nineteenth-century colonialism in the Pacific. The
language has since become the most important lingua franca in the
region, being spoken by more than a million people in a highly
multilingual society. In this book, Romaine examines some of the
changes that are taking place in Tok Pisin as it becomes the native
language of the younger generation of rural and urban speakers.
These linguistic processes, which are by no means complete, have to
be understood in the socio-historical context of colonial expansion
and strategies for socio-economic development in the post-colonial
era.
