Abstract:

This study compared noun phrase in Nigerian Pidgin (NP) and the English language. It was noted that NP developed as a contact language due to trade interaction with European explorers and eventual colonial masters. Researches have shown the
dynamism and complexity of the NP and have sought to establish grammatical structures for the NP sentence.

This study was based on the already established forms and functions of the noun phrase in English language. Direct translations of English sentences into NP were made and the comparison carried out. It was concluded that noun phrases in NP followed a similar morphological pattern as that obtained in the English language but differed syntactically
