Abstract

This work examines the emergence of pidgins and creoles and the controversies surrounding current theories about them. Among the questions considered are why their grammars are simple at the pidgin-creole-postcreole life cycle, and the causes of grammatical innovation. The analysis is supported with examples and case studies.
