Pidgin

皮钦语

 

A term used in sociolinguistics to refer to a language with a markedly reduced grammatical structure, lexicon and stylistic range, compared with other languages, and which is the native language of no one. Structures which have been reduced in this way are said to be pidginized. Pidgins are formed by two mutually unintelligible speech communities attempting to communicate, each successively approximating to the more obvious features of the other’s language.

 

社会语言学术语,指与其他语言相比语法结构、词库和风格范围都大为缩减的一种语言,它不是任何一个人的本族语。已这样缩减的结构称作已“皮钦语化”。皮钦语形成于两个互不相通的语言社团企图互相交流,每一方成功地接近于对方语言中较明显的特征。
