Abstract
Sociolinguistic debates around the definitions and significance of "pidgin" and "creole" languages were increasing in the 1960s and the SSRC's Committee on Sociolinguistics played a role in cultivating these discussions. This 1968 report by Dell Hymes summarizes issues raised at a conference convened by the Council at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, to better understand the historical development, the grammatical and lexical evolutions, and the social uses of pidgin and creole languages. Though he highlights how social science can better inform research on pidginization and creolization, Hymes identifies knowledge gaps, among them the nature of the relationship between these languages and national identity, and more broadly the lack of historical and social scientific knowledge of this topic.

Abstract
As sociolinguistics continued to develop in the 1970s, members of the Council's Committee on Sociolinguistics (1963–1979) reflected on the direction and intellectual impact of this emergent discipline. In this 1972 article, Dell Hymes, cochairman of the committee, describes several orientations toward the field among its practitioners, and argues for what he regarded as the most ambitious: a "socially constituted linguistics." By this, Hymes meant a sociolinguistics that challenges linguistics' core theoretical starting points of linguistic structure and grammar with a focus on the social meaning and functions of language in context. In relation to our "Sociolinguistic Frontiers" series, Hymes presciently argues that ultimately the field must address how inequality and language intersect, going "beyond means of speech and types of speech community to a concern with persons and social structure."
