The Handbook of Pidgin and Creole Studies Volume 38 of Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics: Editors: Silvia Kouwenberg, John Victor Singler: Edition: illustrated: Publisher: Wiley, 2008: Original. The Handbook of Pidgin and Creole Studies tackles these cross-linguistic questions that animate pidgin and creole studies.īringing together newly commissioned material by an international contributor list, this comprehensive and broad-ranging collection explores the core aspects of pidgins/creoles, from phonology to language acquisition, and from language variation to education. Debates about the origin and character of these languages have informed broader discussions within grammatical theory, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. The genesis, development and the question of the genetic classification of contact languages (pidgins, creoles and mixed languages) have from the beginning been central issues in creolistics (see Thomason 2008 Velupillai 2015: chapters 56 Selbach, this volume). The comparatively recent origins of pidgins and creoles provide them with a special place in linguistic theory. ![]()
