Abstract:
This volume contains a selection of fifteen papers presented at three
consecutive meetings of the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics, held
in Washington, D.C. (January 2001); Coimbra, Portugal (June 2001); and San
Francisco (January 2002). The fifteen articles offer a balanced sampling of
creolists' current research interests. All of the contributions address
questions directly relevant to pidgin/creole studies and other contact
languages. The majority of papers address issues of morphology or syntax.
Some of the contributions make use of phonological analysis while others
study language development from the point of view of acquisition. A few
papers examine discourse strategies and style, or broader issues of social
and ethnic identity. While this array of topics and perspectives is
reflective of the diversity of the field, there is also much common ground
in that all of the papers adduce solid data corpora to support their
analyses. The range of languages analyzed spans the planet, as
approximately twenty contact varieties are studied in this volume.
