Description
Pidgins and Creoles An Introduction by Ishtla Singh provides a balanced introduction to the theoretical aspects of creolistics. This book bridges the gap between introductory material and primary research, revising students' knowledge of the field while introducing key areas of debate in pidgin and creole studies. The author offers an even-handed discussion of influences on pidgins and creoles, supported by rare examples of longer texts. A carefully researched approach makes this book a valuable resource for those looking to understand the complexities of these languages.
