Jeff Seigel, adapting Mühläusler's paradigm, has gathered together the most conclusive model of pidginization and creolization by treating process and state as separate aspects of the same developmental model. Intervening stages and processes may be skipped, but the order is somewhat implicational.

                        Stage 
Process 
                 <----Abrupt------------Gradual---->
pidginization... jargon   jargon          jargon  
stabilization...  |       stable pidgin   stable pidgin 
expansion ......  |        |              expanded pidgin  
nativization ... creole   creole          creole

-- He also has a similar model for koines, which he perceives

as undergoing a related developmental process.....<[LINK]>

-- One challenge to Siegel's taxonomy has been the varieties

known as "creoloids." ........................... <[LINK]>
