Description
Contact Languages: Pidgins and Creoles aims to introduce the reader to the exciting and important field of pidgin and creole studies.

Detailed case studies of individual pidgins and creoles are based around texts drawn from a range of different types and contexts (mainly contemporary), with discussion and grammatical notes. Chapters are interspersed with exercises to consolidate and develop the reader's understanding.
