CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Creoles are pidgin languages (second languages) that have become the first language of a new generation of speakers.

Detailed explanation-2: -A creole is believed to arise when a pidgin, developed by adults for use as a second language, becomes the native and primary language of their children – a process known as nativization. The pidgin-creole life cycle was studied by American linguist Robert Hall in the 1960s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Creole languages differ from pidgin languages in that people grow up speaking creoles as their first language. Pidgins, on the other hand, are learned as a second language in order to facilitate communication in areas where different, mutually unintelligible languages are spoken.

Detailed explanation-4: -Creole languages are formed in conditions where speakers from distinct languages are brought together without a shared first language, typically under the domination of speakers from one of the languages and particularly in the context of the transatlantic slave trade and European colonialism.

Detailed explanation-5: -A creole language is a stable natural language developed from a mixture of different languages. Unlike a pidgin, a simplified form that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups, a creole language is a complete language, used in a community and acquired by children as their native language.
