Pitkern-Norf’k: The Language of Pitcairn Island and Norfolk Island (Dialects of English [DOE], 17)

This book tells the story of the language of the Bounty mutineers and their Polynesian consorts that developed on remote Pitcairn Island in the late 18th century. It is an in-depth study of the complex linguistic and sociohistorical forces that have been involved in the formation and subsequent development of this unique endangered language on both Pitcairn and Norfolk islands.
