| Citazioni | The process of 'pidginization' is usually assumed to begin when a language is used only for very limited communication between groups who speak different native languages. Sharply restricted in domains of use, it undergoes varying degrees of “simplification” and “admixture”. If a new stable variety of the language emerges from this process, it might be described as a 'pidgin'. |
