 DEFINITION OF PIDGIN

A pidgin, or contact language, is the name given to any language

created, usually spontaneously, out of a mixture of other languages as a
means of communication between speakers of different tongues.
Pidgins have simple grammars and few synonyms, serving as
auxiliary contact languages. They are learned as second languages
rather than natively.

Some pidgins have expanded into regular vernaculars, especially in

urban settings, and are called `expanded pidgins.' Examples include
Bislama and Tok Pisin (in Melanesia) and Nigerian and Cameroon
Pidgin English.
 DEFINITION OF CREOLE

A creole is “a pidgin which has become the mother tongue of a

community,” and therefore has native speakers. A creole language,
is a well-defined and stable language that originated from a non-
trivial combination of two or more languages, typically with many
distinctive features that are not inherited from either parent. All
creole languages evolved from pidgins, usually those that have
become the native language of a community.
 The Development of Pidgin and Creole

The Development Of Pidgin

As they develop, they can replace the existing mix of languages to
become the native language of the current community (such as Krio in
Sierra Leone and Tok Pisin in Papua New Guinea). This stage requires
the pidgin to be learned natively by children, who then generalize the
features of the pidgin into a fully-formed, stabilized grammar.
The Development Of Creole
In linguistic, creole is pidgin which from time to time and from
onegeneration to the next generation that continues to develop into a
variety oflanguages. By the time adults use pidgin as an intermediate
language, a group of children or grandchildren they acquire and use the
language as a first language (mother language). For children or
grandchildren, no longer called Pidgin, but creole.
 The Process of Development
from Pidgin to Creole

Creole language developed from pidgin language. First of all,

a language is used as a first language in an area, then the youth,
especially the merchants, activities interaction by trade. From
various origins traders, when they interact with other countries
that are much different languages have either structural or
functional, so they created a new language with quotes, and to
paraphrase of their own languages understood by all traders
concerned that they are able to interact well.
