| Citazioni | In the case of any given pidgin that persists over time, the number of speakers for whom it is ‘effable’ will tend to increase, just as a levelling process will tend to remove distinctive markers of individual first-language influence, thus causing the pidgin to approximate more closely (but never completely) the idealized ‘regular’ pidgin of linguistic myth. |
