Towards the Standardisation, Officialisation and Promotion of Pidgin English in Cameroon

Abstract

This paper looks into further developments, functions, attitudes and perceptions of Cameroon Pidgin English (CamP). From the analysis made, it clearly stands out that CamP has become an important linguistic tool with a significant functional load in Cameroon. As such, the researcher stands for its standardization, officialisation and promotion in official domains in general and in the educational sector in particular. CamP must be given the place it deserves in the Cameroonian contexts.
