Investigating the Case of Pidgin Liberian English
Author: Elena Agathokleous
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3346366839
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 7
Book Description
Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The paper discusses the formation of pidgin Liberian English. A Pidgin language is a language created from the need of people with different native languages to communicate. Pidgin languages are often created to serve one specific purpose. Most often a Pidgin facilitates people that want to trade or serves as a way of understanding between settlers and natives in cases of colonization. A Pidgin language is one that has no native speakers. If it acquires native speakers by children growing up having the specific language as their native language, then it is categorized as a Creole language.

Evolutionary Phonology
Author: Juliette Blevins
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139451464
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Evolutionary Phonology is a theory of sound patterns which synthesizes results in historical linguistics, phonetics and phonological theory. In this book, Juliette Blevins explores the nature of sounds patterns and sound change in human language over the past 7000–8000 years, the time depth for which the comparative method is reasonably reliable. This book presents an approach to the problem of how genetically unrelated languages, from families as far apart as Native American, Australian Aboriginal, Austronesian and Indo-European, can often show similar sound patterns, and also tackles the converse problem of why there are notable exceptions to most of the patterns that are often regarded as universal tendencies or constraints. It argues that in both cases, a formal model of sound change that integrates phonetic variation and patterns of misperception can account for attested sound systems without reference to markedness or naturalness within the synchronic grammar.
