4 hours, 4 credits Introduction to the historical development of pidgin and creole languages, as well as their linguistic properties: vocabulary, word and sentence structure, and sound patterns. Brooklyn is home to a great many communities of people who speak creole languages—Kreyòl, Patois (Patwa), Creolese, and others— contributing to the rich cultural diversity of our own student population at Brooklyn College.

Students will explore the debates surrounding the historical origins and structure of pidgins and creoles, and examine the role of creoles in education. Taught in English.
