Second of three talks by PROFESSOR RANDOLPH QUIRK
Pidgin did not degenerate into its present form; it was never nearer English than it is now. Thus Professor Quirk discounts fears often expressed that the fate of the English language in the African and Asian countries of the Commonwealth is to become ' pidginised.'
