The Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages (JPCL) aims to provide a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of pidgins and creoles for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of pidgin and creoles in the social life and culture, including the literature, of creole-speaking communities.
JPCL has an accompanying website which provides an index to past issues and information about forthcoming issues, and which features letters to the editor, short notes, and obituaries not included in the journal itself: linguistics.osu.edu/research/publications/jpcl/
The journal has a companion series of books, the Creole Language Library, under the editorship of Miriam Meyerhoff and Umberto Ansaldo.
