| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the role that educational policies and practices have played in weakening the Norf'k language, a contact language that developed among British sailors and their Tahitian entourage on Pitcairn Island in the late 18th century. It is argued that the education system was only one of several factors in the decline of Norf'k and that its projected revival will require more than just supportive educational measures. | |
