Abstract:

The purpose of the studies presented in this book is to analyze a
fundamental question for researchers interested in the linguistic
consequences of language contact; that is, the role played by differences
in typology. Are there particular constraints in regard to the different
structures that can be transferred from one language to another when the
donor and the recipient languages differ considerably in their typology? 

All the contributions in this volume deal with languages spoken in America.
The comparison of the typological characteristics of the languages is a
prerequisite for the study of contact in different sociolinguistic
situations. The papers illustrate different types of contact-induced
changes, analyzing consequences of linguistic contact at morphosyntactic
and prosodic levels, taking into account a cross-linguistic typological
perspective. They show that although any linguistic feature can be
transferred, some hierarchies may be drawn and that typological aspects of
the languages involved in a contact situation put certain constraints on
the type of what may be borrowed. Some contributions also point out the
relevance of sociolinguistic and pragmatic factors in linguistic changes in
settings involving contact.
