    AiYaH!!!   no bleedin' joke!   I have a photocopy of Herr Doktor Walter
Bisang's _Das Chinesische Pidgin-Englisch: Ein Bilinguales Pidgin im
Spannungsfeld von Superstrat, Substrat und Eigener Kreativitat_ (Amsterdam
Asia Studies, No. 58, 1985).
    I have had it since 18.05.2000  &  I am still - off & on - trying to not
only get my monkeybrains around the syntax but also the unfamiliar, overly
specialized vocabulary.
    And it appears that I have lost my German-English dictionary somewhere
betwixt rehab and recovery...  odd that I have my Spanish and Italian and
pidgin phrasebbooks, etc. but lost my prized German-English dictionary...
