Reviews

... this is undoubtedly the best book for use as a part of a university course on pidgin and creole languages that has yet appeared. Philip Baker, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 59:2 (1996). The work is, without doubt, the definitive intoduction to pidgin and creole languages and linguistics. As a textbook, it would be ideal for an introductory or advanced undergraduate course in pidgin and creole languages. -- Dudley K. Nylander, Studies in Language 23.1
