A living language. Selected aspects of Tok Pisin in the press (on the basis of “Wantok” newspaper) by Marcin Walczyński is a revised and expanded version of the doctoral thesis defended at the Department of English Studies at the University of Wrocław. The book is structured into six chapters where the first three chapters serve as a theoretical introduction to the topic, and the next three chapters provide a discussion of Tok Pisin. The reviewer emphasizes the salience and accuracy of the work and points out that the book focuses not only on the sociological and cultural aspects of the discussed pidgin, but also its phonological and morphological development. Additionally, the reviewer draws our attention to certain aspects that demand further discussion, e.g. irregular phonetic development caused by frequency and can shed new light on understanding the phonetic and phonological mechanisms appearing in Tok Pisin. Finally, the reviewer points out that the monograph is meticulously and carefully prepared.

The authors of the book are focused on the field of creolinguistics: a relatively new but rapidly developing domain of science located within the frameworks of anthropological linguistics. The main aim of the book is to describe thoroughly the location of creolinguistics, in general, from the viewpoint of anthropological linguistics, and in particular, analyzing the key concepts and entire methodological apparatus used by creolinguists. In the first chapters, an outline focused on a new taxonomy of linguistic anthropology is proposed with a particular place given to creolinguistics. In the following chapters, a precise study of the main components of creolinguistics, as well as its theoretical background and numerous references to practical examples are given. Finally, in a broad section, an extensive list of the literature focused on creolinguistics, as well as three types of indexes are delivered. All in all, the comprehensive knowledge contained within, broadly explained with numerous references to real life examples and vivid language, makes this book an excellent academic work which may be used by both processional linguists and students interested in broadening their horizons. Moreover, equally important is the fact that this is the first academic book focused on creolinguistics fully in Polish which makes it both a unique and fundamental work for further generations of linguists.
