Cameroon Pidgin English (CPE) is an English-
lexified Atlantic expanded pidgin/creole
spoken in some form by an estimated 50%
of Cameroon’s population, primarily in the
anglophone west regions, but also in urban
centres throughout the country. Primarily a
spoken language, CPE enjoys a vigorous oral
presence in Cameroon, and the linguistic
examples illustrating this description are
drawn from a spoken corpus consisting
of a range of text types, including oral
narratives, radio broadcasts and spontaneous
conversation. The authors’ typologically-
framed investigation of the features of the
language, from its phonetics, phonology and
lexicon to its syntax and discourse structure,
allows the reader a clear view of the linguistic
character of CPE, offering a comprehensive
description of the language that will be
of interest to creolists as well as linguists
interested in African languages, contact
linguistics and comparative linguistics.
