The Routledge Handbook of Pidgin and Creole Languages offers a
state-of-the-art collection of original contributions in the area
of Pidgin and Creole studies. Providing unique and equal coverage
of nearly all parts of the world where such languages are found, as
well as situating each area within a rich socio-historical context,
this book presents fresh and diverse interdisciplinary perspectives
from leading voices in the field. Divided into three sections, its
analysis covers: Space and place - areal perspective on pidgin and
creole languages Usage, function and power - sociolinguistic and
artistic perspectives on pidgins and creoles, creoles as
sociocultural phenomena Framing of the study of pidgin and creole
languages - history of the field, interdisciplinary connections
Demonstrating how fundamentally human and natural these
communication systems are, how rich in expressive power and
sophisticated in their complexity, The Routledge Handbook of Pidgin
and Creole Languages is an essential reference for anyone with an
interest in this area.
