In this seminar, we will survey English-based pidgin and creole varieties around the world, as realized in music and film. In the first part of the seminar, foundational theoretical aspects regarding the development and structural features of English-based pidgins and creoles will be introduced. In the second part, students will be invited to gather musical and/or filmic material that makes use of a given pidgin or creole variety and to analyze it linguistically, in the context of the linguistic situation in which the material was created.
Will be provided at the beginning of the seminar.
Group presentation and peer reviews.
