"This collection forms an exhaustive volume on contact languages in
a way that not only thoroughly summarizes and challenges
traditional theories and models pertaining to this field of study,
but also provides newer approaches to analyzing contact languages,
their origins, and methods of classification, and as such, lays the
framework for further investigation on contact languages."
Farah Ali in: www.linguistlist.org 08/2017 This is an important
book, which should be consulted by all scholars of language contact
for the state of art on the study of extraordinary/exceptional
results due to intensive and unusual language contacts. Creoles are
amog these unusual cases, but they are hardly the only kind; the
up-to-the-minute chapters here on pidgins, mixed languages, and
multiethnoletics ought now be treated as gold standard
references."
