Abstract:

The Handbook of Language Contact offers systematic coverage of the major 
issues in this field - ranging from the value of contact explanations in 
linguistics, to the impact of immigration, to dialectology - combining new 
research from a team of globally renowned scholars, with case studies of 
numerous languages.

* An authoritative reference work exploring the major issues in the field of 
language contact: the study of how language changes when speakers of 
distinct speech varieties interact

* Brings together 40 specially-commissioned essays by an international team 
of scholars

* Examines language contact in societies which have significant immigration 
populations, and includes a fascinating cross-section of case studies drawing 
on languages across the world

* Accessibly structured into sections exploring the place of contact studies 
within linguistics as a whole; the value of contact studies for research into 
language change; and language contact in the context of work on language 
and society

* Explores a broad range of topics, making it an excellent resource for both 
faculty and students across a variety of fields within linguistics
