Pidgins, Creoles, and Contact

New Add to Schedule

Course Description

Discipline(s): Cultures & Societies of the World / Artistic, Interpretive, & Philosophical Inquiry

The study of pidgins and creoles emerged as a subfield of linguistics in the latter half of the 20th century. Its ideas have been borrowed, notably by anthropologists, to analyze the increased diversity and fusion we confront in a globalizing world. Where did such ideas come from? What are their (un)intended consequences? This course will trace the epistemological development of Creole studies and consider its historical and contemporary impacts.
