Abstract | This paper traces the development in Britain of Angloromani, and argues that this language developed within the first half- century after the arrival of the Gypsies in Britain as a specifically reduced contact language between English and Gypsy beggars and outlaws. Evidence indicates that Angloromani was developed as a "compromise" language and one which would prevent outsiders from becoming familiar with the Gypsies' language. Evidence of the status of Angloromani as a pidgin is discussed. A description of Angloromani contains information on the phonology, grammatical features, and lexicon of Angloromani, and on the relationship between this language and English and Romanes. (AM) |
