		Canadian English spelling is a mixture of U.S. and British, but Canadian speech is much closer to U.S. English, with some French influence.
		That is, the first part of the diphthong in both words in American English is ahh as in father; the first part of the diphthong in writer in Canadian English is uhh as in cut, a higher vowel than the American usage.
		There are a few meaning differences between Canadian and American English; for example, to table a document in Canada is to present it, whereas in the U.S. it means to withdraw it from consideration.

		The kind of English they spoke on the playground was influenced by the Pidgin English earlier brought to Hawaii, by the Hawaiian spoken by their parents, and by their own first languages, especially Portuguese.

	Black English Bibliography
		It is similar in history to Hawaiian Pidgin English (which is a dialect of English closer to a creole language, certainly not a pidgin).
		The author states that Black English is not a separate language, but is a separate dialect, and the proof comes from its uniqueness (from standard English) in its the nature of its rules and the function of these rules within the language.
		It discusses the social aspects of Pidgin English and compares Hawaiian Pidgin with Black English.This article is pertinent to the thesis because it compares the pidgin language situation in Hawaii with the Black English situation.

		Bickerton employs the development of pidgins and creoles as an analogy for both the acquisition of language in modern children and the origin of language abilities in general.
		With regards to the incorporation of substrate features into a creole or pidgin, studies of second language acquisition indicate that imperfect language transfer (or interference) is a common factor (Mufwene 1990; Wekker 1996; Siegel 1998).
		Instead of questioning which English grammatical elements are similar to those of a given pidgin/creole, perhaps the question should be how the grammatical elements of a given pidgin/creole function as a means of communication.

	ENGL 4263: Pidginization Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Pidginization is the process through which native speakers of two separate languages develop a contact language so they may function in the same society (Cook, 1993).
		Pidgins evolve much like interlanguages, changing from one point in time to the next, so the development of an L2 learner's interlanguage may be governed by many of the same rules as a pidgin language system (Cook, 1993).
		Schumann's (1978) study of Alberto, a 33-year-old Costa Rican man learning English, found that although the end result of his learning was not a pidgin, his process of acquiring an L2 was similar to pidginisation (Cook, 1993).

	Pidgin English -
		Pidgin was basically the result of immigrants arriving in Hawai'i who spoke different languages and interacted with one another.
		Pidgin is based on English in a simplified form using the basics in grammar omitting things such as tenses and prepositions.
		Since pidgin began with the immigrants, those people who were raised on the plantations where the convergence of immigrants were at the highest would be the ones who speak a much purer form of pidgin.

		Pidgin, or Hawaii Creole English, seems to be discouraged in the public education system in Hawaii.
		Also, despite its misleading name, Hawaiian pidgin is not a true pidgin but in fact a creole that originated from a pidgin.
		Hawaiian Creole is not a "cute" language, or slang, it is a language, spoken by real people that use it every day to communicate with other people.

		Hawaiian educators troubled by low student scores on English proficiency tests should not rush into programs that try to dissuade youngsters from speaking their native pidgin English.
		But if Hawaiian students are to improve their English skills, they need to do so in an atmosphere that does not denigrate their native speech, while stressing the use of standard English in academic and other formal situations, Davis said.
		Hawaiian concerns about pidgin are reminiscent of the controversy over Ebonics – African-American English – a few years ago in the African-American community in Oakland, Calif.

		Strictly speaking, contemporary Hawaiian pidgin is a creole, not a true pidgin.
		It is a complex language with its own grammar and syntax, an offspring of the original Hawaiian pidgin, which developed in the early 19th century among immigrants - largely Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Filipino and Puerto Rican - who came to work on Hawaiian sugar and pineapple plantations.
		The Hawaiian Pidgin English familiar in the islands today was created by the children of these original plantation workers.

		Pidgin and Creole (hereafter P/C) studies have emerged as important challenges to linguistic theory and method.
		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.
		Though it deals mostly with English-derived Pidgins and Creoles, it is a good overview of the field and provides a useful summary of recent theories of the genesis and development of these languages.

		Other pidgins like Eskimo Trade Pidgin and Chinese Pidgin English derive their vocabulary primarily from one source, usually the language of the group that held control of the trade or its location.
		Pidgins have also arisen in contexts other than trade, for instance in cases of military occupation (Pidgin English in Japan) or in domestic settings for communication between masters and servants of different language background (Indian Butler English) or on plantations (Hawaiian Pidgin English).
		Pidgins show varying degrees of elaboration in both vocabulary and grammar if their range of functions extends beyond the confines of the original context of use.

	The Evolution of the Evolution of Language
		What follows is basically Pinker's recitation of Bickerton's now discredited (within creolistics) Language Bio-Program Hypothesis ("LBH") based on the evidence of grammaticalization that characterized the transition from "pidgin" to "creole" as the first generation of Hawaiian immigrants acquired the vernacular as their native tongue.
		Bickerton is a staunch Chomskyan, and the LBH has had wide-ranging impact as a signal example of the empirical verifiability of the generative paradigm.
		It is the discontinuity between what B analyzed as Hawaiian Pidgin English and HCE, and only this discontinuity which led B to propose creoles are formulated by children from sharply reduced pidgin input.

	Pidgins and Creoles
		Pidgins - pidgins are formed among traders or workers who speak different languages and who must develop a lingua franca in order to communicate; pidgins, by definition are not native to anyone; the language that supplies most of the vocabulary to the pidgin is called the lexifier language
		Issues of interest to researchers of pidgins and creoles are closely related to issues in the areas of first and second language acquisition.
		Second language is by definition a hybrid language that in early stages of acquisition is characterized by a L2 lexicon and phonology and syntax heavily influenced by the first language.

		If anything was "broken", it was Hawaiian, since it is the Hawaiian language that forms the structure of Pidgin, as well as providing many of the colorful and descriptive words.
