Let's talk about Pidgin and Creole Language

Discussion

A. Introduction

v Lingua Franca

Lingua franca (Latin meaning “Language of the nation of the Franks”) is a linguistic term meaning “language of instruction’’ or Language Association” somewhere where the are speakers of different languages.

Lingua franca has two other action, namely:

1. Worn only on temporary relations with limited objectives, in particular the trade.

2. Do not have the structure of a down right gramatic steady and perhaps the presence of the spaces of words.

Example of lingua franca very much and there is on every continent. The examples that is very clear at the moment is English, which is the lingua franca international for business, science, technology, and aviation

v Pidgin Language

Pidgin is a language that has no native speakers. Pidgin developed as a mean communication between people do not have the same language. Pidgin was original developed in a narrow function. Those who use pidgin also have other languages as well, so an additional language is pidgin used for specific purpose such as in the trade or administration or communication. Besides its own Pidgin Sociolinguistics is mixing two or more languages that can be understood in certain groups. The words of this particular group can be an organization, a gang, the assembly or otherwise.

Pidgin was created from business people who have different language, becuase pidgin evolved to cater to a verry narrow range of a limited domain, then user pidgins this tend to simplify the structure and used the less vocabulary. Pidin words generally do not have inflection (grammar or speech changes) to mark. An example in English, plural words or time (tenses) verb is not used.

Simplification of pidgin look once on aspects of grammar and memorize. Pidgin does not have grammatical gender system of noun and does not have have the final approval of the noun-verb. Time and aspect expressed with words than with a separate suffix. Pidgin tends to reduce cue grammar. This allow the speakers to learn and use it, even though it gives ‘overload’ in the audience.

Example cases.

About the trade: for example ( I Take from Indonesia). hawkers in the area Tanah Lot speak with foreign tourist in English. English language used as a base and the way to speaks are adapted with Indonesia’s tounge, for example.

a. Peri cip (very cheap) = very cheap

b. Paip (five) = five

c. Mases (By the mai) = message

d. Tosen = thousand

e. Many many different with art shop (the price is much different from the price given in the art shop) = the price is a lot different from at.

The second example of Pidgin cases.

There are four people from Korea, france Indonesia and Mexio. They only speak their own language (Only that Language that they knew). They want to communicate but they don’t understand each other, because that problem they want to make their conversation, so they create a new code (Pidgin Language) that can make them understand each other for communication in which they mix all languages and they make it simple, in this case France is dominant language they have created as new pidgin. But Listen! People around them cannot uderstand what do they speak because it’s a pidgin language that only they use to speak and understand in a group.

Why france is dominant? Because the nature of this pidgin is one language will be very dominant depending on who often speak or communicate with mother tongue (region)

v Reason for pidgins to arise

There are various reasons for pidgin to arise and one reason is that the pidgin do not have a common language to communicate, therefore the need for communication leads them to create a pidgin.

v Creole Language

In contrats with pidgin, Creole is formed when Pidgin from a different language that is the language of the first of the new generation. In other words, that generation with simultaneous use of Creole as a mother tongue. That generation being native speakers of creole that. If pidgin is a simple communication language with no grammar and phonetics, creole is a language which gives completeness on grammar, meaning and function levels.

According to Holmes (Wardhaugh, 2010:59) says that ‘A creole is pidgin which has expended in structure and vocabulary to express the range of meaning and serve the range of function required on a first language.

Creole will appear when pidgins became the mother tongue. Brown and Attardo (2000:117) explained that the oidgin used in certain situations. If pidgin isn’t useful anymore, then it will be gone. Conversely, if pidgin is useful, then it will become the lingua franca and in the process will be the language natively and ultimately become a creole (the mother tongue)

For the example from four people who from Kores, Indonesia, France and Mexico who was making a pidgin language and from here we pick 2 people as example to make what does creole means.

And a person from Korea is a woman and another from Indonesia is a men. They fell in love and go married. And after time is walking on, they have a kid. And their kid is growing up, automatically thier kid speaks the pidgin now too but the pidgin that they speak it as a first language, so it’s not pidgin anymore it’s a creole or naitve speaker that have first language.

The second example to make it clear in short.

For example, when a man and woman get married and they have different languages. Later, it appeared that pidgins become one on the language of a shared house and became the mother tongue to their children and the mother tongue that is the first language for the kid that is the called ‘CREOLE’

B. The Contact Pidgin and Creole

v The Different between Pidgin and Creole

- Pidgin are non-native lingua francas or no native speaker.

- Pidgin language is arise quickly for functional communication and compromise between 2 or more languages.

- Simple vocabulary from “dominat” groups language

- Simplified grammar of native language

And for the creole

- Creole have native speakers

- Usually srarts as a pidgin

- Become children’s native speaker

v Pidgin and Creole have in common

Pidgin and creole are new languages that develop when speakers of different language come into contact with each other and have a need to communicate.

v Pidgin and creole are basically has the following characteristics:

- The structure of clauses that are not complete

- The reduction and removal of syllables, or words

- Reduction of the consonant group

- The use of the basic vocal letters (a, e, i,o,u)

- There are no tones, such as those in Africa Asian languages

- The use of a separate word for tensis indicated, usually bring up the verd.

- Usage of reduplication to explain the prular, superlative, and parts of another with the intenation of speech expresses the concept.

- A lack of morphophonemic varition.

The underlying presence of pidgin are:

- The tendency of contacts from a group of people whose language is different.

- The need to communicate between them.

v The function of Pidgin and Creole

As an alternative, pidgin can become a lingua franca which is very useful because it can be used by the person who has the distinction of speaking with different tribes. In a multilingual language community, parents could simply use a pidgin language in general and throughout the day, get it on the market, in offices and on public transport which can also be used as an everday language used at home. In this case, the children often require that languae as their first language as their first language and this will be developed into a creole language.
