Book Description

Series: Linguistic Models | Publication Date: December 1996

Much of the contents of this atlas is based on recent research results concerning intercultural communciation and contact language situations in a very large part of the world. Many of the findings have an impact upon existing views, especially regarding the origin of Pacific Pidgin English as well as intercommunication in the indigneous Artic and American Indian worlds, many parts of Asia including insular Southeast Asia and the Pacific proper. Several virtually unknown hybrid languages in China are dealt with and their origins discussed. Further, the functions and roads of metropolitan languages and the Pidgins based on them are investigated. This publication should be of interest to linguists, ethno-sociologists, anthropologists, historians and political scientists.
