This paper has a number of agendas. including the following: (a) to provide a brief outline of the history of pidgin and creole studies and their reception; (b) to make some more general remarks on central and marginal, useful and useless types of academic studies; (c) to examine the usefulness of pidgin and creole studies, an exercise which is increasingly becoming necessary as academics are being called upon to justify their existence and demonstrate their usefulness. A hidden agenda, one might wish to argue, is the need to justify my own existence as an academic, the fact that I have done my M.Phil and my Ph.D. in pidgin and creole studies, that I have written two books and numerous articles about this topic and generally set aside many years of my life for the study of these languages
