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.

These books represent the most systematic and comprehensive guide
ever published to the world's pidgins, creoles and mixed languages,
designed, edited, and written by the world's leading experts in the
field. The three-volume Survey brings together over ninety leading
experts to present concise accounts of the world's pidgin and
creole languages. The division of its three volumes reflects the
languages from which they originated. Each entry provides a
linguistic and social history of the pidgin or creole in question
and an analysis of their linguistic characteristics, and is
accompanied by a location map and a bibliography. The accompanying
Atlas of Pidgins and Creoles presents full colour maps of the
distribution among the pidgins and creoles of 130 structural
linguistic features. These cover their phonology, syntax,
morphology, and lexicons. Each map is accompanied by a commentary.
