The three-volume \u003cem\u003eSurvey\u003c\/em\u003e brings together over ninety leading experts to present concise accounts of the world's pidgin and creole languages. The division of its three volumes reflects the languages from which they originated. Each entry provides a linguistic and social history of the pidgin or creole in question and an analysis of their linguistic characteristics, and is accompanied by a location map and a bibliography. The accompanying \u003cem\u003eAtlas of Pidgins and Creoles\u003c\/em\u003e presents full colour maps of the distribution among the pidgins and creoles of 130 structural linguistic features. These cover their phonology, syntax, morphology, and lexicons. Each map is accompanied by a commentary. The project is the successor to the successful \u003cem\u003eWorld Atlas of Language Structures\u003c\/em\u003e and draws on the same linguistic, cartographic, and computing knowledge and skills of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. Individually and together the volumes represent an outstanding and unique resource of central interest and value to linguists of all persuasions throughout the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume covers pidgins and creoles based on Portuguese, Spanish, and French.
