(Question Nos. 153 to 157)
Pidgins are languages that are not, acquired
as mother tongues and that are used for a
restricted set of communicative functions. They
are formed from a mixture of languages and have
a limit vocabulary and a simplified grammar.
Pidgins serve as a means of communication
between speakers of mutually unintelligible
languages and may become essential, in
multilingual areas. A creole develops from a
pidgin when the pidgin becomes the mother
tongue of the community. To cope with the
consequent expansion of communicative
functions the vocabulary is increased and the
grammar become more complex. Where a creole
and the standard variety of English coexist, as in
the Caribbean, there is a continuum from the
most extreme form of creole to the form that is
closest to the standard language. Linguists mark
off the relative positions on the creole continuum
as the basilect (the furthest from the standard
language), the mesolect, and the acrolet. In such
situations, most creole speakers can vary their
speech along the continuum and many are also
competent in the standard English of their country.
