| Kurzbeschreibung
The Handbook of Pidgin and Creole Studies tackles the cross-linguistic questions that animate pidgin and creole studies. Bringing together newly-commissioned entries 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. The book is structured into four sections covering: the character of pidgins and creoles; the relation of pidgins/creoles to other language phenomena and other languages; issues in pidgin/creole genesis; and their role in society. The result is a stimulating one-volume reference work covering the key issues, topics, and research in this field.
