The book is structured into five sections covering: the properties of pidgins and creoles; issues in pidgin\/creole genesis; pidgins\/creoles and linguistic explanation; the relation of pidgins\/creoles to kindred languages; and their role in society. The result is a stimulating one-volume reference work covering the key issues, topics, and research in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"This handbook provides a timely overview of a constantly changing and growing field and serves as a handy reference for anyone working on pidgins and creoles or related issues.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eJames Walker\u003c\/b\u003e, York University  \u003cp\u003e\"A most informative handbook on pidgin and creole languages.
