N2  - The series provides a platform for Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics. This new sub-discipline of linguistics is inspired by work carried out within the framework of Missionary Linguistics and by recent discussion about language, linguistics and colonialism. KPL/CPL intends to make accessible and comment on texts which are concerned with languages of the former European possessions in overseas and were written during the European colonial era
