Sociolinguistic lesson for you children
Quoted from Meyerhoff "Introducing Soooociolinguissssitcs"
Pidgin: "Generally, a language variety that is not very linguistically complex or elaborated and is used in fairly restricted social domains and for limited or social or interpersonal functions. Like a Creole, arises from a language contact; often seen as a precursor or early stage to a creole. It is often said that pidgin can be distinguished from a creole in having no native speakers".
