Answer 1

Pidgeon English is hard to explain until you've lived and breathed in a society where it gets used on a regular basis.

Generally, users of such English tend to forget to use conjoiners, modifiers and pluralistic grammar, as well as similar sounding words to those they want to use.

You might find some resources on English language use from http://www.eslgoods.com It's primarily an online store, but I've bought items from them before because they tend to list the best and most popular items for ESL students and teachers.

If you've been given handouts from your teacher, then I would think the information in those is what will be primarily in your exam. You can also try finding answers at http://www.justanswer.com That site has professionals only answering questions, so you might be able to find some help there too.

Best of luck for your exam!

Answer 2

A thorough subject search for Stanford-owned books should include a subject keyword search [FIND SUBJECT] and a Library of Congress (LC) subject heading search in SOCRATES [FIND SUBJECT PHRASE, FIN SP]. The library subject heading is sometimes different than a language's common designation (i.e., Creole Dialects, French--Haiti is used for Haitian Creole). Most P/C titles at Stanford have been entered in SOCRATES. You will also want to search the online library catalogs RLIN & OCLC as part of your overall search.

The Library of Congress has not been consistent in it's classification of P/C material. Some clearly Creole languages are classified as a Pidgin or "other" mixed languages, some are classified as dialects of their "target" languages (English, French, etc.,), and some are classed sometimes as a dialect and sometimes as a "mixed" language. Some of these languages have their own subject headings, most do not. Nevertheless, shelf or shelf-list browsing and subject searching, mentioned above, will bring results. Furthermore, the original cataloging done for P/C material by Stanford for the past few years has sought to apply a consistent classification and subject tracing scheme to all P/C material, and the beneficial results are already apparent to the browser and subject searcher.

THERE U GO!
