Meaning of pidgin by Felipe Lorenzo del Río





Felipe Lorenzo del Río

pidgin
  5

A term of disputed origin, one option makes it derive from pigeon english, English of pigeon (messenger), thus being an anglicism. As the comrades say, it is a simple and mixed language, the result of the collective encounter of speakers who do not know the language of their interlocutors, as in the case of the conquistadors with the indigenous peoples or of the merchants, for example Genoese, with other peoples of the Mediterranean. In these cases, the morphology and syntax are often very imperfect. A case of pidgin can be found in the Mediterranean sabir.
