Global Linguists
Studies of global Englishes
| Linguist | Investigation |
|---|---|
| Whinnom | Believed that Chinese Pidgin English is now virtually dead, with only marginal use remaining among a few Chinese speakers in the British colony of Hong Kong |
| Platt | Discovered that in recent years some attention had been given to English in certain political settings with regards to detailed in depth studies, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore |
| Kachru | Characterised the non native Englishes as the legacy of the colonial period and have mainly developed in 'un-English' cultural and linguistic contexts in various parts of the world, wherever the arm of the Western colonisers reached |
| Canton | Found that the British established their first trading post of pidgins in Guangzhou in 1644 |
| Paddock | Presumed that the Maritime Provinces of Canada display many of the characteristics of the language of the nautical trade, including slavery |
| Dillard | Reverenced that the maritime, coastal and insular associations of pidgin English, as well as its utility in multilingual situations, have long been recognised |
| Reinecke | Gave an account which stresses rather the on the spot creation of pidgin in a contact situation, with emphasis on the exploration of a Polynesian or Oriental population by Europeans |
| Siegel & Jourdan | Showed that children and adults with no active knowledge on Pijin at the time of their arrival in Honiara acquire a very high degree fluency in the language after only four weeks of active immersion in the urban culture |
| Sandefur | Thought that Kriol is of more than local interest because it is probably the latest creole to be comprehensively described linguistically |
| Todd | Classified pidgins into restricted and extended, proving them to be important in a multilingual area (e.g. Nigerian Pidgin) |
| Ikilama | Conceptualised that Nigeria's multilingual setting has enhanced the use and growth of pidgins such that in some parts of the country it has become a creole |
| Troy | Instituted that as aboriginal people because increasingly involved in the pastoral industry, the use of their pidgin spread ever more widely across the world |
