Pidgins and creoles
Handouts/presentations:
Homework assignment [group work]:
Please collect/select 10 sentences from the variety assigned to your
group. Provide a translation, and, if needed, further details
(e.g. word meanings, explanations of grammatical markers). Do not
forget to include your source (audio/audio-visual sources would be
great, but all are OK, including personal communication with native
speakers). Ideally, the examples should cover a wide variety of
phenomena that make your variety special, and different from Standard
English. Each group has to send their examples to me (DEADLINE: 2019-12-20). Please send two files: 1. a text file, and 2. a pdf
file created from your text file.
