Abstract:

This volume gives an up-to-date account of various situations of
language contact and multilingualism in Europe especially from a
historical point of view. Its ten contributions present newly
collected data from different parts of the continent seen through
diverse theoretical perspectives. They show a richness of topics and
data that not only reveal numerous historical and sociological facts
but also afford considerable insight into possible effects
multilingualism and language contact might have on language
change. The collection begins its journey through Europe in the
British Isles. Then it turns to northern Europe and looks at how
multilingualism worked in three towns that are all marked by border
and contact situations. The journey continues with
linguistic-historical and political-historical visits to Sweden and to
Lithuania before the reader is taken to central Europe, where we will
deal with the influence of Latin on written German. As far as southern
Europe is concerned, the study continues on the Iberian peninsula,
where the relationship between Portuguese and Spanish is focused, to
be followed by Sardinia and Malta, two islands whose unique
geohistorical positions give rise to some consideration of
multilingualism in the Mediterranean.
