这篇文章报道了对太平洋小岛瑙鲁上的一种英语伸缩代词皮钦语的初步研究。这种洋泾浜英语既有中国洋泾浜英语和太平洋洋泾浜英语的鲜明特点，又有许多独特之处。社会历史资料表明，这两种形式的洋泾浜英语在瑙鲁已经接触，数据表明，洋泾浜混合，一种形式的koineization，已经发生。这种混合的语言后果类似于其他语言子系统（如地区方言）的混合。这些数据还支持有关遗传分类问题的意见，以及混合在追踪太平洋和其他地区洋泾浜发展方面的重要性。
This article reports on a preliminary study of an English-lexifier Pidgin spoken on the tiny Pacific island of Nauru. This pidgin has distinctive features of both Chinese Pidgin English and Pacific Pidgin English, as well as many unique characteristics. Socio-historical information shows that these two forms of Pidgin English have come into contact in Nauru and the data suggests that pidgin mixing, a form of koineization, has occurred. The linguistic consequences of such a mixture are similar to those of the mixing of other linguistic subsystems such as regional dialects. The data also supports observations about the problems of genetic classification and the significance of mixing in tracing the development of pidgins in the Pacific and other areas.
