In the first part of important facts about the very language - Tok Pisin - are given. Then, the article presents selected<br>word-formation processes that are employed in Tok Pisin. The attention is focused only on compounding,<br>conversion and reduplication. Each word formation mechanism discussed in this paper<br>is illustrated by a number of examples. The examples are derived from the corpus of 17 news items<br>written in Tok Pisin and obtained from the official Internet website of ABC Radio Australia,<br>Australian Broadcasting Corporation in November 2004 (http://www.abc.net.au/ra/).</p> ER -
