Abstract:
This volume presents a collection of new articles by sixteen specialists in
the field of pidgin and creole studies, assembled in honor of the world-
renowned creolist, Albert Valdman. The articles, written from a variety of
theoretical perspectives, are organized thematically in three sections: on the
history of specific pidgins or creoles (including Louisiana Creole and Haitian
Creole); on the sociohistorical settings that gave rise to these contact
languages and issues affecting their future development; and on issues of
linguistic variation and change. In keeping with Valdman's own primary
interests, the French-based creoles receive the most attention, including
both those of the Atlantic zone and those of the Indian Ocean, but the
volume also presents significant scholarship on English- and Portuguese-
based varieties.
